Farrell Fares Better Second Time Around
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Niall Farrell was sitting in the same seat he busted his first entry in. He made a bet of 10,000 on a board of 5?7?7?J? on the button, after Andrea Bensaid checked in the hijack.
Bensaid spent two time banks before calling, growing the pot to 34,000. After the 2? river hit the table, Bensaid checked again and Farrell made a bet of 25,000, more than half of his remaining stack.
Bensaid did not need as much time to make a decision, quickly folding and forfeiting the pot.
"Scottish people don't bluff," tablemate Mark Teltscher told Bensaid comfortingly.
