"Running Bad"
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On a board of J?A?A?J?3?, Farrell bet 20,000 from the cutoff on the flop and Maria Lampropulos called from the big blind, then both players checked on the turn and the river. Lampropulos showed K?8? for a simple king-high, while Farrell had Q?Q?.
On the next hand, Farrell opened from the hijack, but everybody folded, so he won the blinds and flipped over K?10?.
He raised again from middle position one hand later, and Cesar Garcia defended from the big blind. But after Farrell bet on the 3?Q?10? flop, Garcia quickly check-folded. Probably for the best, as Farrell showed A?A?.
Farrell finally folded preflop on the next hand. "Running bad" he laughed in front of his 1,900,000 chips.
