We came up on a hand just a few minutes before the end of Day 1A in the Tournament Tent.
This game-changing hand was between three players on table 77: Gary Farrell, Rene Morin and Joao Fernandes. By the time we got to the table all hands were out:
Gary Farrell:
Rene Morin:
Joao Fernandes:
The board:
This hand spelled the end for Fernandes and Morin just a few minutes from bagging their chips. So Gary Farrell ships home the pot with pocket aces. It took Gary quite some time to pick up all the chips, but in the end it seemed like a 400,000+ stack in front of him.
We’ll see how much he bags at the end of the level.
Things are quieting down as the players bag their chips and exit the Tournament Tent.
