Farrell Explains Monster Stack

Will Shillibier

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Niall Farrell was previously on a table with Heidi May in the secondary tournament room. That table now broke and he is now seated in the main tournament room with an impressive stack of 150,000 in front of him.

And how did he get those chips we hear you ask?

"You know when there are five cards on the board," said Farrell, "And you have two more cards in your hand. Well sometimes my two cards combine with the cards on the board to make the best hand...and they still go all in!"

Sounds simple...
