Saliba Dents Saout Before a Double-Up
Level 7
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Vivian Saliba opened to 1,300 on the button and Antoine Saout defended from the big blind. The flop came A♥A♦4♥ and both players checked to the 6♠ on the turn.
Saout checked again and Saliba flicked in a bet of 1,000. Saout called and the 8♠ completed the board. Saout checked once more and Saliba sized up a bet of 3,500 which got Saout to lay his hand down.
On the next hand, Saout got the rest of his chips in the middle on a flop of A♣10♦6♣ and was called by Neophytos Neophytou. Saout turned over J♣10♣ and was way ahead of the 9♣7♣ from Neophytou. The J♦ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river secured the double-up for Saout.
