As hand-for-hand play was set to begin, Clemen Deng raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and Alexander Farahi called in the big blind.

The flop was Qc7c3d, Farahi checked, Deng continued for 16,000, and Farahi called.

The turn was the Kh, Farahi checked, Deng bet 50,000, and Farahi called.

The river was the 8d, Farahi checked, Deng bet 100,000 (leaving about 30,000 behind), Farahi check-raised all in, and Deng tanked for a little while before he called all in with Ks9s for a pair of kings.

Farahi, however, had Kd7d for kings and sevens to win the pot and eliminate Deng on the money bubble.
