$10K Champion Farkas Off to Hot Start
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Braude opened to 16,000 under the gun, and Benedek Farkas, who had recently joined after winning the $10k 7-Handed event earlier today, called as next to act.
Cedric Schwaederle also came along from the big blind, and the dealer fanned the 2♦Q♦J♣ flop. Braude continued for 20,000, Farkas called, and Schwaederle check-folded.
Braude and Farkas then both checked the 6♥ turn, leading Braude to bet 48,000 on the 6♦ river. However, Farkas moved all in, and Braude called off his stack of 276,000.
Farkas tabled J♦10♦ for a flush, leaving Braude's A♦Q♠ in the dust to score an elimination just before dinner.
