Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Elia Salerno raised to 450,000 in the hijack and chip leader Dennis Magro defended his big blind.

The flop came A♦7♠3♠ and Salerno continued for 550,000. Magro then raised to 1,100,000 and Salerno quickly moved all in for 3,475,000.

Magro confirmed the amount and spent a few minutes in the tank before flicking in a chip to signify a call.

Elia Salerno: A♠K♣
Dennis Magro: A♥5♠

Both players had flopped top pair, but Salerno was ahead with his king-kicker. The A♣ turn gave both players trips, but Magro missed the 8♠ river as Salerno earned a massive double up to begin the day.

"I can't fold. I was hoping you had a flush draw," Magro said.
