Salas Doubles With Aces Through Chadha
Level 7
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In the big blind, Damian Salas flipped his cards as he was at risk for 265,000 chips against Carlos Chadha in the cutoff.
Damian Salas: A♦A♥
Carlos Chadha: Q♠Q♥
On 6♥K♠5♣9♦10♣, Salas' aces held, and the 2020 WSOP Main Event champion doubled up.
On a subsequent hand, Chadha lost almost all his stack, and had only 41,000 chips remaining when he moved all in on the next hand. Alejandro Lococo was the only one to call.
Carlos Chadha: A♦10♥
Alejandro Lococo: K♥J♠
On the flop 6♣A♣K♣, both players hit a pair, but Chadha stayed ahead. But the K♠ came on the turn to give trips to Lococo. The 8♥ on the river didn't change anything, and Chadha left the area.
"I need a massage," he said when he saw a masseuse on his way to the exit.
