Elia Salerno opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 5,000, and the table folded around to Paraskevas Tsokaridis in the big blind. He took his time before making the call.
The flop came K♠K♥8♥. Tsokaridis checked, and Salerno continued for 3,500. After a long pause, Tsokaridis responded with a raise to 10,500. Salerno made the call, and both players checked the 5♥ turn.
The river brought the 3♠, and Tsokaridis checked again. Salerno fired 26,000, and Tsokaridis quickly released his hand, giving the pot to Salerno.
