Saleh Dons His Cape and Hero Calls Sanchez
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sley Sanchez raised to 50,000 from the hijack, and Yousef Saleh called in the big blind.
Saleh checked the 
flop over to Sanchez, who bet 40,000. Saleh check-raised to 80,000, and Sanchez three-bet to 215,000. Saleh called.
Both players checked the 
turn, and the 
fell on the river. Saleh checked, and Sanchez bet 160,000. Saleh called.
Sanchez tabled 
for ace-high, and Saleh, undeterred by the four-flush and one-liner straight on the board, held 
for two pair, good enough to take the big pot and jump to a big lead with seven remaining.
