Farrell Doubles Up with Aces
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Marius Gierse opened to 320,000 from the hijack, Niall Farrell on the button three-bet to 900,000 and Gierse made the call.
Farrell continued for 800,000 on the 6♥6♦4♣ flop and Gierse check-called, then Farrell fired a second barrel of 1,800,000 on the 8♦ turn. Gierse didn't call this time but check-raised all-in. Farrell snap-called, being the player at risk for 3,880,000.
Niall Farrell A♦A♠ 
Marius Gierse: Q♣Q♦
Farrell had a little sweat with the J♦ on the river, but it changed nothing and he secured a double-up.
