Faro Makes Tough Call on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded to Parker Talbot in the hijack, and he raised to 20,000. It folded to the small blind Tim Faro, and he three-bet to 80,000. The big blind folded, and Talbot made the call to see a flop.
The flop came A♦5♠3♠ and Faro bet out 70,000, which Talbot called.
Both players checked after the 5♦ on the turn.
The river was the 9♦ and Faro checked to Talbot, who fired out 175,000. Faro spent nearly two minutes in the tank, before eventually finding a call.
Talbot told Faro "You're good" and Faro tabled Q♠Q♥ for a pair of queens, as Talbot mucked his hands to give Faro the pot.
