Faro Gets Aces to Win Massive Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Tim Faro raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and Edgar Propst called on the button. Then Jimmy Born three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Faro four-bet to 120,000. Propst folded, and Born made the call.
The flop came 8?3?6? and Born shoved all in for 176,000, which was called by Faro to put Born at risk.
Jimmy Born: 10?10? 
Tim Faro: A?A?
Born ran straight into the pocket aces of Faro and would need help to stay in the tournament. But after the board ran out 8? on the turn, and 2? on the river, the pocket aces of Faro were still best, and Born was eliminated from the tournament.
