Salerno Rivers a Straight to Take the Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With around 32,000 already in the pot and the flop showing A♦5♥K♥, the action checked to Maria Lampropulos, who bet 10,000 from the cutoff. Elia Salerno in the big blind called.
The J♦ turn was checked through, setting up the 10♣ river.
Salerno took the lead with a bet of 35,000, and Lampropulos called. Salerno revealed Q♦J♥ for a rivered straight, enough to send Lampropulos’ hand to the muck.
