Du Plessis Doubles Through Farrell

Eugene Du Plessis was all in preflop with {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and up against the {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} of Niall Farrell, who was in the small blind. The {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop wasn't anything special, and neither was the {J-Spades} turn. Farrell needed either a king or seven on the river to eliminate his opponent, but it was not meant to be as the {9-Diamonds} blanked.
