Farah Deals Near-Mortal Blow to Ketzer
Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 4?J?5?A? and roughly 3,000,000 in the middle, Felipe Ketzer checked from the big blind and Elie Farah bet 2,500,000 from the button. Ketzer put in a check-raise to 27,000,000 and Farah, who had exactly 30,000,000 behind, moved all in. Ketzer called to put Farah at risk.
Elie Farah: A?9?
Felipe Ketzer: Q?3?
Farah was ahead with top pair but had to fade some outs from Ketzer in the form of any two or diamond. The 8? river was a brick and Farah dragged in the vast majority of the chips in play while Ketzer was left with just under four big blinds.
