Fard Doubles Up
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
A player opened to 1,500 from middle position and was called by Payam Fard on the button as well as the big blind player.
Action checked to Fard on a flop of 
and he led out for 2,200. Both of his opponents called to keep action three-handed heading to the turn.
The big blind checked for a second time following the 
turn. At this point, the middle position player took over the betting lead, firing off 8,000. Fard was not yet ready to release his hand and called while the big blind got out of the way.
The middle position player moved all in with the covering stack after the 
river completed the board, putting Fard to the ultimate test. After a moments thought he sigh called but received a full double after turning over 
for top two pair.
