Salvatore Flops the World, Turns the Nuts

Tyler Boyer

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Vince Salvatore raised to 4,000 from middle position, and was called by a player in the cutoff, and the big blind.

After the A♥5♦10♦ action was checked to the cutoff, who bet 6,000. Both the big blind and Salvatore made the call.

All three players checked to the river after the 2♦ on the turn, which brought the J♥. The big blind checked, and Salvatore went all in for 24,500, and the cutoff quickly made the call for less. The big blind folded and Salvatore tabled A♦K♦ for the nut flush, and the cutoff showed A♣Q♦ before exiting the tournament area.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 5♥6♥7♥ and roughly 36,000 in the pot.

Aaric West bet out 7,000, and Di Wu raised to put him all for his stack of 42,000, which he quickly called to put himself at risk.

Aaric West: A♠Q♥
Di Wu: J♥10♥

Wu flopped a flush, but West could hit another heart to make a bigger flush. But once the turn came the A♣ and the river was the 6♣ the flush of Wu was still best, and West was eliminated.

A player raised all in from under the gun for 16,000, and when it folded to Robert Gill in the hijack, he made the call. Action folded around, leaving the players heads up, and the under the gun player at risk.

Robert Gill: A♠Q♣

Gill had his opponent dominated, and once the board ran out 5♦7♠A♥8♠K♦ the ace-queen was still best, to give Gill the pot and eliminate his opponent.
