Farkas Far Gone
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Xingwei Chen opened for 200,000 in middle position and Shawn Pilot in hijack called. Junichi Murakami, however, had other things in mind and jammed for 3,645,000. Valentin Farkas in cutoff followed suit and pushed all his 750,000 chips in.
When action went back to him, Chen asked for a count then folded his hand. Pilot did the same leaving the remaining players to head to showdown.
Valentin Farkas: 10♠10♣
Junichi Murakami: A♦K♣
Farkas was looking to double up as his tens held on the 4♠9♥4♣ flop. He faded another street when the 2♥ turn fell. The K♦ river, however, dashed his hopes when Murakami was pushed into the lead with a pair.
