Niall Farrell opened to 2,300 from the button, and Andrew Mackenzie defended the big blind.

On the J♥10♦8♥ flop, Mackenzie check-folded versus a continuation bet of 1,500.

In the next hand, Farrell opened to 2,200 from the cutoff, and Peter Bruin defended.

Bruin check-called a bet of 2,000 from Farrell on the 10♠4♠2♦ flop, before the 5♦ turn was checked to the 10♥ river.

Bruin led out with a bet of 4,000, and Farrell folded after a brief period of thought, saying “For the record, I think you’re bluffing, but I can’t beat some bluffs either. If I had king-high, I call.”

Niall Farrell – 82,000
Peter Bruin – 64,500
