Salaburu Doubles Through Hellman

Erik Hellman opened to 200,000 only to have Robert Salaburu three-bet to 400,000 from right next door. It folded back to Hellman and he announced all in. Salaburu snap called for his tournament life with {K-Diamonds}{k-Spades} which was ahead of Hellman's {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Salaburu's kings were able to hold, awarding him a double up to about 7,000,000 in chips.
