River Saves Fader
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up on a board of A♣K♣9♣2♥ with around 7,000 in the middle. Dana Howard checked her action over to Jonathan Fader, who bet out for 4,800. Howard then put in a check-raise to 8,000, which, after some time, was changed to 9,600 by the dealer. Fader then stuck in 8,800, which again had to be changed.
The river 9♦ checked through, and Howard announced, "I have a flush," tabling J♣4♣.
"That river saved my whole main event," replied Fader, who said he had a smaller flush.
