Farah Picks Off Shcherbakov Before the Break

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Elie Farah

Elie Farah just recalled a hand he played going into the break, which resulted in him doubling up thanks to a correct hero call.

Farah said he raised to 2,200 from under the gun before Kirill Shcherbakov three-bet to 6,500 from the hijack. Razvan Sabau cold-called on the button, and Farah also called.

Farah checked to Shcherbakov on the Jx7x2x flop, and Shcherbakov continued with a bet of 10,000. Sabau got out of the way, but Farah called.

The board-pairing 2x on the turn brought another check from Farah and a second bet from Shcherbakov, this time for 20,000.

A 6x completed the runout, and Farah checked one last time. Shcherbakov shoved, covering Farah, and Farah made the call for his remaining 51,500.

Shcherbakov turned over a stone-cold bluff with KxQx and lost the pot to the K7 of Farah for just a pair of sevens.
