Favreau Survives on a Lucky River
Level 8
: 250/500, 75 ante
Daniel Favreau was on last year's final table of this event and, after this hand, he hopes to make it again.
Favreau limped from late position and the cutoff then raised to 1,050. The button called, Favreau called as well, and the flop then came down 
.
Action checked to the button who bet 2,000. Favreau then moved all in over the top for 3,900 total. The action was folded to the button who then snap-called and turned over 
for top pair with the nut flush draw. Fareau turned over 
for king high with a straight draw.
The turn fell the 
and Favreau would need to connect to stay alive. The dealer then turned over the 
on the river, giving Favreau a straight and securing him the double.
