Farrell is Out

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Fredrick Arni was in the small blind and raised to 10,000. Niall Farrell three-bet to 30,000 in the big blind and Arni called.

The flop was {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Arni announced all in for roughly 260,000. Farrell went into the tank, talking to his opponent and trying to get his read. The clock was called on Farrell by Arni and with about 15 seconds left to act, Farrell called.

Arni tabled {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for two pair and before Farrell showed his hand he said, "Yup, I'm the biggest idiot ever." He then showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Farrell couldn't improve, sending him to the rail and all of his chips to Arni.

On the same table Faraz Jaka has more than tripled his starting stack on the day and now sits at over 550,000 in chips.

Yu Li Over a Million Now

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Yu Li
Yu Li

We got to the table to see the {9-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop. Rembert Net, in the under-the-gun position, bet 27,000, Yu Li, in the hijack, raised to 75,000. Bruce Zhen, on the button, folded. Net went all in and received a call from Li, who had Net covered.

Yu Li: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Rembert Net: {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Li had a set and Net needed another diamond to hit a flush and stay alive.

The {K-Spades} on the turn and the {A-Spades} on the river didn't help Net and he's out. Li now has more than 1 million in chips.
