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.
