Salter Wins Round Two Versus Reard
With players heads up on a board reading J♠5♦4♥ and around 10,000 already in the middle, Jack Salter check-called a 6,000 bet from Alexandre Reard.
The turn came the 3♠. Salter checked, Reard bet 17,000 and Salter put in a check-raise to 41,000. Reard made the call.
The river came the J♥. After about one minute of thought, Salter pushed forward a stack of green 5,000 chips, enough to put Reard all in for his remaining stack of approximately 90,000.
Reard, who had forced a fold from Salter in another big pot during the previous level, was clearly faced with a difficult decision. After just over two minutes, he folded A♠2♠ face up and Salter took down a sizable pot from the French pro.
"It was a good fold," Salter told his opponent as he dragged the pot.
