Sekularac and Salter Shoot Up the Leaderboard
A raising war broke out between Jack Salter in the cutoff and Hani Bahna on the button. The latter five-bet shoved for more than 220,000 and Salter called to create a massive pot.
Hani Bahna:
Jack Salter:
The flop improved Salter to top pair, and he left Bahna with just one out on the turn. The river was a blank and Bahna left the tournament area with a disappointed look on the face.
An even bigger pot played out one table over. Ognjen Sekularac raised to 4,400 and Duc Tuan Tran called from one seat over. Boris Kolev moved all in for 40,300 and he was called by Sekularac and Tran. The flop came and Sekularac made it 25,000 to go, which prompted the shove of Tran.
Sekularac asked for a count and Tran was all in for 169,300, the call of the Serbian followed to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Boris Kolev:
Duc Tuan Tran:
Ognjen Sekularac:
"Nine!" Tran demanded, and then also asked for a seven once the turn gave him a gutshot. However, the wish wasn't granted as the blank river completed the board and ensured the double knockout.
