Farkye Playing Lots of Hands

With a stack that's dipping above and below 700,000 chips, it's probably no surprise that Kofi Farkye has been playing hands. Lots and lots of hands. Two hands in a row, he raised to 6,500 from early position. The first time, Men Nguyen called from the small blind and the big blind also called. Both players check-folded to a bet of 15,000 from Farkye on the {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {2-Clubs} flop.

The second hand, Nguyen was on the button and was the only caller. When Farkye checked a flop of {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} to Nguyen, he bet 8,000. Farkye calmly cut off 25,000 from his sizable stack and check-raised. Nguyen folded after 30 seconds.

Farkye is at about 705,000 in chips. Nguyen slipped to 120,000 after these hands.
