Faria Felted Before the Money
Luis Faria defended the big blind and then checked the Q♥7♠6♣ flop. Denys Chufarin continued for 25,000 from an early position and Faria then jammed for 198,000, Chufarin beat him into the pot.
"Fuck my life," Faria instantly exclaimed and then asked Chufarin if he had pocket kings. Some friendly table banter back and forth followed while they waited for the other tables to finish the action before the showdown commenced.
Luis Faria: K♠Q♦
Denys Chufarin: A♣A♠
It was not kings but aces, which made the misery for Faria slightly better. However, there was no escaping on the 2♣ turn and 3♥ river to bring the field down to the last 100 contenders. They are now on the stone-cold money bubble.
If more than of the hopefuls bust, they will also miss out on the min-cash as players need to physically bag up chips in order to ensure the payday on Day 2.
