It felt like an early 2000s online poker hand watching Ryan Farrell and Samir Bhatia click back and forth in what ended up as a 5-bet pot.
Blinds were at 3,000/5,000/5,000 and Ryan Farrell opened UTG+1 to 10,000. Samir Bhatia 3-bet to 30,000 from the lojack.
Action folded back to Farrell who grabbed some amount of chips (roughly 80,000) and slid them forward as a 4-bet. Bhatia quickly moved all in and Farrell rolled his A♣A♦ over as he called. Bhatia tabled K♠K♥. Classic cooler.
Farrell: A♣A♦
Bhatia: K♠K♥
Board: T♥5♦2♥A♠7♦
The runout wasn't much of a sweat for Farrell as he turned a set of aces. Bhatia was walking away from the table but ended up having the covering stack by 28,000. Bhatia would have a few more hands of hold'em to try and spin a stack back prior to the PLO round.
Blinds are about to go up to 3,000/6,000/6,000 as 16 players remain and 11 players will finish in the money.
Farrell: 328,000
Bhatia: 28,000
