Farah Doubles Through the Chip Leader
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Dinesh Alt opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Bart Lybaert three-bet to 750,000 from the next over. Elie Farah four-bet shoved for roughly 2,250,000 from the hijack, forcing a fold from Alt while Lybaert made the call to put Farah at risk.
Elie Farah: K♥K♣
Bart Lybaert: Q♥Q♣
Farah had Lybaert pipped and the K♦8♠8♥ flop left Lybaert drawing only to running quads. The J♠ turn and 6♦ river changed nothing and Farah scored a full double up in one of the first hands of the final table.
