David Salituro

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Pablo Jimenez raised to 300 in the hijack and John Duthie called in the big blind.

The flop came A♥8♥5♠ and Jimenez continued for 600. Duthie then raised to 2,600 and Jimenez called.

The turn was the K♦ and Duthie tossed in 12,000. "The ace is dangerous," he told Jimenez, who went into the tank for several minutes before folding A♦Q♦.

"I had eight-five suited. My birth year. I was born in 1985," Duthie joked after the hand.
