Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Alexander Wiggins opened the action from middle position with a raise to 26,000, before Tim Faro three-bet to 80,000 in the cutoff. Then Grant Wang four-bet to 205,000 in the big blind which got Wiggins to fold, and Faro made the call.

The flop came K♣6♠10♦ and Faro called a bet of 88,000 from Wang.

Both players checked to showdown after the Q♣ turn, and 3♠ river. Wang then tabled A♥K♦ for top pair top kicker, which was good to take the pot as Faro tossed his cards in the muck.
