Salazar Denied Knockout

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Eric Salazar
Eric Salazar

Eric Salazar raised to 7,000 from the cutoff only to have the player in the small blind three-bet jam for 62,000. Salazar asked for a count, paused for a few beats, and then made the call.

Eric Salazar: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Salazar had the better ace and the kicker played after the {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop gave both players two pair.

The {6-Clubs} turn was of no consequence but the {3-Spades} river was as it rendered the kicker useless as both players made a full house to chop.
