Salomon Swims Upstream

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A big pot was brewing over on table #180, and we caught the action on the river.

With about 100,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, the player in the small blind led out for 50,000. Chris Salomon was in the big blind and said, "Fifty thousand? That's most of my stack. I thought I had the best hand on the flop, and then you just bet out on a deuce."

After about a minute of deliberation, Salomon decided to call. "Nice call", said his opponent. Salomon decided to show first and revealed {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a pair of aces with an eight kicker. The small blind mucked, and Salomon took down a massive pot worth over 200,000 chips.
