Pescatori and Farha River to Stay Alive
Level 8
: 300/600, 0 ante
We just stumbled on one of the pots of the tournament. Max Pescatori had moved all in pre-flop and was waiting on Daniel Alaei and Sammy Farha to do business on a flop of 
. With a main pot of 40,000 locked up, both players then moved all in, creating a side pot worth just over 80,000 in chips.
Alaei: 
Pescatori: 
Farha: 
Alaei had both players covered and led after the flop with a pair of eights. The 
missed everyone on the turn, but it would be the 
on the river that helped both the players that were at risk. Pescatori rivered the nut flush to take the main pot, while Farha had also rivered a smaller flush to take down the monster side pot.
