David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vitalijs Korhs bet 22,000 from the hijack on a board of K♥J♠K♦6♠ and Diego De Martino raised to 97,000 in the big blind. Korhs used several time banks before calling to see the 9♦ river.

De Martino then moved all in for 180,000 and Korhs used the rest of his time banks as he again went deep into the tank.

"Good bluff," he eventually said, flashing the K♣ as he mucked.

At the same time at another table, Noah Boeken had shoved for 68,000 from middle position and Ravi Sheth put him at risk on the button.

Noah Boeken: 4♣4♥ All in
Ravi Sheth: 10♥10♣

Boeken was crushed by Sheth's tens and found no miracles on the 8♦J♦6♣J♣2♣ board as he was sent to the rail.
