Grujic Eliminates Farber Early in Round 2
Level 14
: Blinds 800/1,600, 0 ante
Action picked up on the flop when David Farber bet out 10,000 on a 3♠6♣J♠ board. Marko Grujic then reraised to 29,500, before Faber three-bet to 95,000. After taking most of the shot clock, Grujic four bet jammed all in, and Farber snap called.
David Farber 6♠5♠
Marko Grujic J♥6♦
It was Grujic's top two pair, versus Farber's pair and flush draw.
With the cards on their back, all the money in the middle, Farber needed help to stay alive. The turn brought the 10♣, and the river sealed Farber's fate when the J♣ improved Grujic to a full house and eliminated Farber in the very first few hands of round 2.
Grujic will go on to face the winner of Joseph Miller and Chance Kornuth.
