Fal Over 200,000 at Halfway Mark
Niveau 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.
