Salazar Flops Gold to Take Chip Lead

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Eric Salazar
Eric Salazar

Michael Puccio opened action for 40,000 from late position. Ed Sebesta called sitting directly to his left along with Mike O'Neill on the button and Eric Salazar defended his big blind.

The {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop was checked to Puccio who bet 110,000 getting a call from Sebesta while O'Neill folded. Action was on Salazar who jammed for 512,000 and Puccio came over the top for 525,000, Sebesta called.

Eric Salazar: {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Ed Sebesta: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Michael Puccio: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Puccio held the over-pair while Salazar flopped top two-pair with Sebesta holding the diamond draw.

The {8-Spades} turn changed nothing and the dealer completed the board with the {7-Spades} river to give Salazar the monster pot leaving Puccio with 20,000, which he would be shortly eliminated after.
