Keith Ferrera is sporting a natty white fedora and it seems to be bringing him and his friends some luck. One of them had just survived an all in and returned the hat to Ferrera. It is certainly brining him luck as he has amassed a stack of 45,000.
“This fedora has so much value.” he said reclaiming the prized possession and placing it back on his head.

Ever since Chengce Jiang lost a big hand to Mike Sowers his fortunes seem to have gone in reverse.
The player who once sat atop the leader board and had his table baffled at the hands he was making is now sitting on an average stack and no longer has the leverage or fear factor he previously had. It will be a struggle for Jiang to get that momentum going again.

There was an open for 975 from early position and an elderly gentleman put in the calling chips. Niall Farrell was next to act and he put the squeeze on with a raise to 3,000.
It folded back round to the original raiser and he looked as if he was agonising over what to do. After a couple of minutes thought he four-bet to 7,500. The older player quickly mucked and Farrell wasn’t falling for it, mucking his cards too.
Asked by the four-bettor what he had, Farrell responded, “I had a pair, I was calling a shove”
