Farrar's Aces Win a Huge Pot

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 300 ante

There was a big commotion over on Table 40 as players stood up from their seats and some were even taking their phones out. Four players were all in preflop with Mark Farrar holding the superior hand and 35,300 chips. Farrar turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, the largest stack on the table held {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, Joe Elpayaa showed {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and the short stack flipped over {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

All four players held a heart in their hand but it was Farrar that held the only one that mattered. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} giving all four players a flush, but Farrar's ace of hearts earned him a monster pot. Elpayaa was eliminated by the pocket kings and the short stack also headed for the exit.
