Salaburu vs. Koroknai

Robert Salburu limped from the cutoff as did Andras Koroknai on the button. Greg Merson checked his option from the big and it was three-way action to the {J-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. Merson checked, Salaburu bet 500,000, and Koroknai made the call.

After Merson got out of the way, the {2-Hearts} appeared on the turn and Koroknai called a bet of 725,000 from Salaburu. The latter proceeded to fire out 2 million on the {8-Diamonds} river, and Koroknai called. Salaburu rolled over {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and it was good as Koroknai sent his hand to the muck.
