Fal Over 200,000 at Halfway Mark
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nikolay Fal has taken his stack up above the 200,000-chip mark as the day nears its halfway mark.
In the latest hand he played, the action was picked up on a 10?A?Q? flop with around 35,000 in the middle. Fal, in the big blind, checked, as did Arun Sood and the button.
A Q? on the turn saw Fal lead out for 11,100, which only the button called to the Q? river. With three queens on board, both players elected to check and Fal's J?J? was good at showdown as the button mucked.
Fal is a regular at Merit Poker stops and has seven wins on the tour, including a Main Event victory back in 2022 at the Western Series for a cool $326,153, his career-best cash.
