Farah Empty-Handed Again
Level 4
: 150/300, 50 ante
Jacques Torbey, Elie Farah, and Raul Cuc each put 3,400 in preflop to buy a 
flop. Cuc and Torbey checked to Farah, who bet 5,500. Cuc folded, Torbey shoved, and Farah called all in for around 20,000.
Jacques Torbey: 
Elie Farah: 
Torbey held a commanding lead with his set of fives and remained ahead after the 
turn and 
river. It's the second and final time Farah busted, as the single re-entry format doesn't allow any more attempts.
