Farber Doubles Up the Hard Way
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player in middle position raised it to 6,000 and when action got around to Ronald Farber he three-bet shoved. The original raiser asked for a count, the dealer confirmed 63,000 total, and after some thought the original raiser made the call and Farber saw that he was behind with a smaller pair.
Ronald Farber: 
Original Raiser: 
The 
flop didn't seem to offer much help after the original raiser flopped middle set, but the 
turn gave Farber the slim hope of hitting the runner-runner gutshot straight. The 
river was one of the four outs that Farber needed to hit to double up and stay alive on Day 2.
