Caldwell Triples Up

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante

Michelle Caldwell limped in from late position sparking a raise from Budwey Salhab in the cutoff to 125,000. Matt Heiligenthaler three-bet to 280,000 on the button only to see Caldwell four-bet shove for 411,000. Both Salhab and Heiligenthaler made the call.

The flop fanned out {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Salhab got Heiligenthaler to fold with a bet of 200,000.

Michelle Caldwell: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Budwey Salhab: {a-Clubs}{a-Clubs}

Caldwell was in big trouble but luck was on her side, the {10-Clubs} wasn't any help but a juicy {4-Diamonds} on the river gave Caldwell the triple up.
