Farrell Fares Better Second Time Around
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Niall Farrell was sitting in the same seat he busted his first entry in. He made a bet of 10,000 on a board of 5♣7♥7♣J♠ on the button, after Andrea Bensaid checked in the hijack.
Bensaid spent two time banks before calling, growing the pot to 34,000. After the 2♣ river hit the table, Bensaid checked again and Farrell made a bet of 25,000, more than half of his remaining stack.
Bensaid did not need as much time to make a decision, quickly folding and forfeiting the pot.
"Scottish people don't bluff," tablemate Mark Teltscher told Bensaid comfortingly.
