Borovkov Flips Out Farah; Bubble Time
Level 18
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With a stack of 420,000, Elie Farah raised the button to 60,000 on the button.
Alexey Borovkov peeked at his cards, thought for a while, and then jammed, covering Farah. Farah looked to the heavens, used a few of his time banks, and then slammed in the call.
Elie Farah: A♠Q♠
Alexey Borovkov: 2♥2♠
Farah found himself in a race that would decide whether or not he would cash.
Farah was out of his seat as the 4♦5♥7♦ flop was spread across the table.
The 9♠ turn was no help, and the K♥ river ended Farah's Main Event run just two places shy of the money.
With the elimination of Farah, the tournament moved onto the direct bubble and hand-for-hand play began.
