Saliba Takes From Ponakovs

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Heads-up to the 843A turn, Aleksejs Ponakovs checked and then called a bet worth 2,500 by Vivian Saliba. They checked the 10 river and Ponakovs declared "I win" before showing his 8532 for a wheel. Saliba, however, had that beat with the J772 for a flush.

"That will teach him," Justin Young joked.

"It is his first time playing Omaha," Justin Saliba added.
