Faro Gets Aces to Win Massive Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Tim Faro raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and Edgar Propst called on the button. Then Jimmy Born three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Faro four-bet to 120,000. Propst folded, and Born made the call.
The flop came 8♥3♥6♠ and Born shoved all in for 176,000, which was called by Faro to put Born at risk.
Jimmy Born: 10♥10♣ 
Tim Faro: A♥A♣
Born ran straight into the pocket aces of Faro and would need help to stay in the tournament. But after the board ran out 8♣ on the turn, and 2♠ on the river, the pocket aces of Faro were still best, and Born was eliminated from the tournament.
