Saliba Gets Early Christmas Gift From Vandyshev
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Aleksei Vandyshev raised to 1,200 on the button and Hossein Ensan called in the small blind. Vivian Saliba then moved all in for 5,400 in the big blind and both opponents called.
All three players checked down the A♦Q♠9♥2♦4♣ board and Saliba showed A♥Q♦ for two pair. Vandyshev mucked J♣6♦, while Ensan flashed J♠10♥ before he also mucked.
"Something personal?" Saliba said to Vandyshev.
"It was a gift," Vandyshev replied.
"Merry Christmas," Ensan added.
