Wolf Doubles Through Faro
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Michael Wolf raised to 8,500 from middle position, and when it folded Tim Faro, he defended the big blind.
The flop came 9♣K♥6♠ and Faro checked to Wolf, who bet out 11,000. Faro then raised to put Wolf all in, who quickly called to put himself at risk.
Michael Wolf: A♣K♠ 
Tim Faro: K♣Q♠
Both players flopped top pair, but Wolf had the dominate kicker, looking poised for a double up. After the board ran out 10♦ on the turn, and 4♣ on the river, the Ace-king of Wolf was still best to secure the double up.
