Faro Leads the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Thomas Abbas opened to 2,400 from under the gun, and Craig Seltzer made the call on the button. Lavern Wasson came along in the small blind, while Tim Faro defended his big blind to see the K♦7♣J♣ flop.
Action checked around to Seltzer, who fired a bet of 4,000. Only Faro continued to the 8♣ turn, where both players declined to bet.
Faro watched the 4♠ river hit the felt, and tossed out a minimum bet of 1,200. That produced a fold from Seltzer, as Faro raked in the pot.
