Farha's Aggression Prevails
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player limp called in the hijack, as did Ilmari Sukanen in the small blind. Sammy Farha checked his option in the big blind to see a flop.
The flop came 5?8?6? and the action checked to the turn.
On the turn was the J? and after Sukanen checked, Farha bet out 30,000. The hijack folded, and Sukanen made the call.
The river was the A? to complete the board, and after Sukanen checked again, Farha bet out 100,000. After debating the call for over a minute, Sukanen let his hand go to give the pot to Farha.
