Round and Round They Go!

[user75032]

Blinds are a staggering 20,000 and 40,000 now. The chip lead is being traded back and forth virtually every hand.

Huck Seed open-shoved his button with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

when he had the chip lead. "I call," said Sam Farha. Farha turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

. In a repeat of an earlier hand, the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

helped neither player, but the turn {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

was the perfect sweat card. It gave Farha top pair and the smallest possible flush draw to Seed. The river blanked out to give Farha the pot and the lead.

The next hand, Farha raised and Seed called all in without looking at his hand. Farha had {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

against Seed's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{4-Spades}

. Seed managed to pair his four on the flop and duck any damaging cards thereafter. He doubled up but remains at a chip disadvantage to Farha.
