Mike Linster shoved all in for 1,345,000 from early position and Dave Farah called in the cutoff. Kevin Albers called as well from the small blind and the dealer fanned out {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} on the flop.

Both players checked through to the river as the board rolled out {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Albers turned over {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines and Farah tabled {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for ace-high. Linster turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} as well for just ace-high and Albers took down the pot, eliminating Linster from the tournament.

Ramdin Out-Kicks Dauti

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Victor Ramdin opened to 200,000, Uke Dauti called in the cutoff and the dealer spread out {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} on the flop. Ramdin check-called a bet of 125,000 from Dauti to see the {6-Hearts} turn card.

Both players checked to the {a-Clubs} river where Ramdin threw in a bet of 300,000. "I'm good," said Dauti as he called and turned over {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for a rivered pair of aces.

"No, I'm good," laughed Ramdin as he tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for the same rivered pair but with a higher kicker in his king.

Victor Ramdin opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and Dave Farah called on the button. Timothy Little moved all in for 3,490,000 from the big blind and Ramdin released his hand. Farah called, putting Little at risk as the two tabled their hands.

Timothy Little: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Dave Farah: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Farah's jacks were still in the lead. A {4-Diamonds} hit the felt as a turn card and Little had one last chance for romance. The {4-Hearts} completed the board and cemented the pot for Farah with his jacks, sending Little out the door in ninth place.

Farah Takes Huge Pot from Ramdin

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
David Farah
David Farah

As the final nine players were moving to a single table, Dave Farah saw his new seat and said "I've got position on Victor" and did a little happy dance.

He just took a big pot from Ramdin in the one hand in which he was out of position.

On the river with a board of {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Farah was in the small blind and Ramdin was on the button. He bet 1.2 million and Farah check-raised to 3 million even.

Ramdin called, then mucked when he saw Farah's {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for tens-full.

Farah now has a huge lead on the table with almost a third of all the chips in play.
