Sow Loses a Small One

Maxime Taldir

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kalidou Sow in early position and the big blind discovered a flop of K♠3♥9♥ where Sow bet 15,000. The big bling check-called, then checked again the 2♣ turn.

Sow checked back to find the 8♥ river. The big blind checked once again, but Sow seemed to hesitated.

He eventually checked back, but his cards went into the muck when the big blind flipped over A♦4♣.

Farrell Doubles Up

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Following an initial open raise and a subsequent three-bet to 45,000 by another player, Niall Farrell decided to go all in with his remaining 89,000. His opponent called and both players revealed their hands: Farrell held A♣K♦, while his opponent showed A♦J♠. Despite being in a favorable position, Farrell stood up and remarked, "Was nice meeting you guys," anticipating a loss.

The flop unveiled 9♦7♠5♠. "More spade," Farrell exclaimed, as his opponent held a spade.

Fortunately for Farrell, the turn and river cards, 5♥K♠, played out in his favor, resulting in a double-up.

Reflecting on his earlier pessimism, Farrell explained, "From 2015 to 2017 I won all all-ins, now I am paying for it."
