Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a board reading and about 400,000 already in the middle Ben Farrell had a bet of 175,000 sitting in front of him.

The other player in the hand tanked for about a minute before he tossed in calling chips. Farrell tabled and scooped the pot, which added more chips to his already-sizable chip stack.
