Elie Farah opened from the hijack and Fausto Tantillo called in the big blind.
They went to a flop of J♦A♥9♠, where Tantillo checked and Farah bet 21,000. Tantillo then made it 47,000, Farah three-bet to 110,000, and Tantillo called.
On the 9♥ turn, Tantillo check-called a bet of 70,000 from Farah to the 4♣ river, where again Tantillo checked. Farah then quickly bet 75,000, and Tantillo took just twenty seconds before he called.
Farah then showed a pair of eights with 8♥8♦. but that was no good as Tantillo flipped A♣Q♦ for a pair of aces.
