Favor Stands Firm with His Straight
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player under the gun opened to 2,400 and four players called, including Michael Favor in the hijack. The dealer fanned out 
on the flop and action checked to the initial raiser who bet 2,000.
Favor and one other player called to see the 
turn card. All three checked to the 
river where the pre-flop raiser bet 11,000 and Favor was the only player to call.
Favor turned over 
for a turned straight and it was more than enough as his opponent showed 
for just two pair, sending the pot to Favor and his straight.
