Saliba Gets Active from the Start
Vivian Saliba just registered for the Main Event and was seated at a new table with fellow 888poker ambassadors Ian Simpson and Lucia Navarro. Saliba wasted no time getting involved in the action after making a three-bet in middle position against Ajay Kejriwal.
The two players went heads-up to a queen-high flop and Kejriwal just check-called a bet from Saliba. The A♥ and A♦ runout slowed down Saliba as both players checked the river. Kejriwal showed Q♠Q♦ for a full house and Saliba flashed her Q♥ before the cards went into the muck.
On the next hand, Saliba opened to 700 from under the gun and Kejriwal called from the big blind. The flop came 10♠10♥9♠ and Kejriwal check-called a bet of 1,000 from Saliba. The turn was the 9♥ and Saliba won the pot with a bet of 1,500, flashing her K♥K♦ in the process.
