Trimmer Hits the River to Eliminate Abu-Saleh
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Niklas Astedt in the hijack opened to 240,000 with Q♠9♠, but Julio Trimmer on the button three-bet to 800,000. Rakan Abu-Saleh in the big blind then jammed for 1,420,000. Astedt folded but Trimmer made the call.
Rakan Abu-Saleh: A♦K♣ 
Julio Trimmer: Q♣6♣
Abu-Saleh was on his way to double up after the flop of 3♠2♦8♠ and the J♣ turn. But the Q♦ river landed on the felt to give top pair to Trimmer and send him the rail.
