Rubbing Salter in the Wound
UK pro Jack Salter, who finished runner-up in the European Poker Tour Grand Final in Monte Carlo earlier this year, is off to a red-hot start here in the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Main Event.

. The small blind checked, Salter continued for 2,500, and the cutoff folded. The small blind made the call and then check-called another bet, this time 5,525, on the 
turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, the small blind checked for a third time and Salter paused for a few beats before betting 10,200. The small blind took equally as long to call, and then mucked his cards just as soon as Salter revealed the 
for a full house.
