Defending Champion Farah Starts Title Defence
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Elie Farah took down the Carmen Series Main Event last year after besting 664 entries, and has started the defence of his title here on Day 1a.
In a recent pot, the board read 7♦5♥6♣8♥ and Lyudmil Ivanov had checked from the big blind, then called a bet of 6,000 from Farah in early position.
A 4♠ on the river put a straight on board and Ivanov checked. Farah then put out a healthy bet of 25,000, which prompted a quick fold from Ivanov.
Farah then showed Ivanov he made the correct fold as he flipped the 9♠ for the top end of the straight,
