Derwiche Pushes Off Salter

Jack Salter is not running as well in the Main Event as he did in the HK$206,000 Single Re-Entry Shot Clock, and the UK player is struggling to improve on his 30,000 starting stack.

That’s not for want of trying, though – with the board reading and around 15,000 already in the pot Salter had led out for 6,500. However, his opponent in the hand, Imad Derwiche, promptly re-raised from the button to the tune of 15,000 to send Salter into tank mode.

“Nice bet,” Salter conceded and slid his cards into the muck to drop down to 35,000 while Derwiche stacked up to 48,000.

One player whose high roller did not go anywhere near as well as Salter's was Ali Reza Fatehi and while we have yet to see the Iranian play a hand he has evidently been busy and has around 144,000 in front of him.
