Alen Sabic, in middle position, raised to 120,000. The action folded to Vivian Salbia in the big blind, who defended.
The 9♣Q♠8♠ flop went check-check to the Q♣ turn. Saliba again checked to Sabic, who put in a bet of 100,000.
Saliba made the call for the 7♠ river to complete the board. Saliba checked for a third time and this time Sabic checked behind.
Saliba tabled A♥8♥8♣7♦ for a full house, besting the A♦Q♦J♠3♣ of Sabic, which disappeared into the muck.
