Mark Ellerbe Crippled

Mark Ellerbe raised to 75,000 pre-flop, Naseem Salem moved all in for 280,000 and Ellerbe called. Ellerbe turned over {A-Spades}{2-Spades} and was in bad shape against Salem's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The flop was {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} making Salem a set of tens. Ellerbe needed a queen to win the pot. The turn was the {K-Spades}, no help to Ellerbe. The river was the {K-Clubs}, making Salem tens full of kings and he took down the pot.

After the hand, Salem was up to 600,000 while Ellerbe was on life support with only 80,000.
