Farid continues to climb

[user1220]

Farid Meranghi now has about a quarter of the chips in play helped by a peculiar hand where Katja Thater pushed all-in for her last 80k, and the main pot was made up by Dennis Bejedal and Farid with calls.

Thater had meanwhile exposed her cards not realising Farid was still in (apparently having his cards obscured by his chips). The flop of QQ9 and Thater's exposed QJ meant that three queens were accounted for.

Yet Bejedal moved all in after the turn. Farid was happy to call with the fourth queen in hand. He held QJ like Katja and split the main pot. Bejedal's AA was not good.

Farid cleaned up the side pot that Bejedal just created with his all-in play.
