Saliba Lays a Trap For Joentausta
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alexander Petersen raised to 35,000 in early position and Vivian Saliba called in the hijack. Aku Joentausta then potted to 145,000 in the big blind.
Petersen got out of the way, but Saliba moved all in and Joentausta called for 370,000.
Aku Joentausta: A♠K♣10♦6♣ 
Vivian Saliba: A♥A♣J♠5♦
Saliba had trapped Joentausta with her aces as the flop came J♣8♦4♥. Joentausta picked up some outs on the K♦ turn, but Saliba improved to trips on the J♥ river to send Joentausta to the rail.
"I almost shoved," Petersen said.
"We would've had some fun," Saliba replied.
