Tapinas Takes Two From Farrelly
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Catching the action on a K♥K♣4♦3♠ turn, Andrius Tapinas checked from the small blind to James Farrelly on the button, who fired 30,000 into a pot of around 40,000. Tapinas called to the 9♥ river, which he also checked.
Farrelly barreled in a bet of 35,000. Tapinas snap-called, and revealed K♠Q♦ for trip kings once Farrelly admitted he had jack-high.
The next hand, Farrely opened to 2,400 in the cutoff, and Tapinas called on the button. The 6♣Q♣10♥ flop checked through to the 9♣ turn, where Farrelly check-called Tapinas' bet of 2,000. The A♥ river was checked to showdown, where Tapinas won once more with Q♥2♥.
