Farrell Runs Into Tens; Jones Spikes a Two-Outer on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Joe Newby raised to 8,000 on the button, then called when Niall Farrell moved all in for 90,000 in the big blind.
Niall Farrell: 5?5?
Joe Newby: 10?10?
The flop came 3?A?K? and Farrell began asking the dealer for another spade, but none came on the Q?8? runout and Farrell was eliminated.
At the same time at another table, Nim Rattan was all in for 120,000 in early position, Jones was all in for 117,000 in the hijack, and Matthew Eardley had them both covered and at risk.
Nathan Jones: Q?Q?
Nim Rattan: J?J?
Matthew Eardley: A?K?
Eardley spiked his ace on the 5?A?2? board and was poised for a double knockout as the 3? fell on the turn. The river, though, was the Q? and Jones hit his set to virtually triple up, while Rattan was eliminated.
