Saliba Chops a Rough One

Level 27 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

It looked like Vivian "vivi.888." Saliba was going to get a double through "fabi01an" when she got ace-queen in against ace-jack. But the board double paired kings and tens, so they chopped it up.

Level 26 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The only ambassador left in the game is the one who has been cashing events all week in this series, Vivian "vivi.888." Saliba. She's still streaming her action live at her Twitch channel and she just got a big flop with ace-king against ace-king when she hit a flush with clubs.
