Death by Big Slick
Hand #1
David Wintersberger went pseudo-all-in, but had left one chip behind when Adrian Salter went all in on his direct left with the bigger stack. Wintersberger had the clock called on him when it folded back to him, as it appeared he was attempting to tank for a pay jump. He made the call as the clock counted down and wished his opponent luck.
David Wintersberger: A♣9♣
Adrian Salter: A♠K♥
The flop warmed up Wintersberger when it rolled out the 7♣8♠6♣, giving him a straight draw and a flush draw. The turn was fine for Salter when it peeled the 6♦, but the K♣ on the river was a backhanded top pair, as the flush awarded Wintersberger the double up.
Hand #2
Just a few shuffles later, these two players tangoed all-in preflop again, but this time, Wintersberger had the covering stack.
Adrian Salter: A♠K♦
David Wintersberger: J♠J♣
Salter was almost amused by bad luck as he pulled his camera out to record the, J♥7♠8♦ flop which gave Wintersberger top set. The turn and river were bricks for Salter and he was sent to an unexpected early exit on Day 2.
