Wang Takes From Faro in Four-Bet Pot

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Alexander Wiggins opened the action from middle position with a raise to 26,000, before Tim Faro three-bet to 80,000 in the cutoff. Then Grant Wang four-bet to 205,000 in the big blind which got Wiggins to fold, and Faro made the call.

The flop came K?6?10? and Faro called a bet of 88,000 from Wang.

Both players checked to showdown after the Q? turn, and 3? river. Wang then tabled A?K? for top pair top kicker, which was good to take the pot as Faro tossed his cards in the muck.
