Salas Doubles Through Martirosian Before Doubling Up Benitez

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Artur Martirosian open-jammed in the small blind and Damian Salas called in the big blind with a stack of 86,000.

Damian Salas: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Artur Martirosian: {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The flop of {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} kept Salas ahead but gave Martirosian a gutshot. The board then finished out {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Salas improved to a pair of aces to double up.

The next hand, Francisco Benitez open-jammed a stack of 62,000 from early position and Salas called from the small blind.

Francisco Benitez: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Damian Salas: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Salas had a monster but the flop landed {8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Spades} to give Benitez the lead with two pair before the rest of the board ran out {2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} to earn Benitez a double through the visibly frustrated Main Event champion.
