Saleh Flexes The Big Stack, Puts Bailey to the Test
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 15,000 ante
Sley Sanchez raised to 60,000 from under the gun, and Shomari Williams called in the cutoff. Jaron Bailey three-bet to 210,000 from the button, and Yousef Saleh jammed for 2.2 million in the small blind.
Sanchez and Williams both quickly folded, and Bailey went into the tank.
"I'll show you this hand," Saleh told Bailey. Bailey didn't respond.
After a few minutes, Bailey shook his head and chose to fold, and Saleh, true to his word, tabled 
for a pair of kings.
"Damn, I had one over..." Williams said, and Saleh responded, "That's why I went all in!"
