Faria Finds Thin Value
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Luis Faria raised to 16,000 under the gun. Nikolai Mamut upped the ante to 42,000 in the hijack, and Faria called once it had folded back to him.
Both players checked the 10♣9♠A♣ flop through to the 6♣ turn, where Faria bet 45,000. Mamut tossed in a call, and did so too when Faria sized down to 27,000 on the 8♣ river.
Faria showed 7♣7♦ for a small flush. Mamut tapped the table and returned his cards face down, admitting defeat.
