Salazar Pushes His Way into a Pot

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

The flop read {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Eric Salazar checked, one player in the cutoff bet around 1,300 and another player on the button raised to 5,800.

Salazar check-raised more than enough to put both of his opponents all in as he shoved in a stack for around 50,000.

The cutoff instantly folded but the button player took their time, ultimately they folded in the end and Salazar slammed over {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for two pair, pulling in the pot.

A player in middle position limped, the hijack player raised to 1,600 and Jeffrey Trudeau called in the cutoff. Tony Ruberto called on the button and the middle position opponent stuck around as well.

The dealer fanned out {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, action checked to Ruberto who bet 3,000 and the player in the hijack check-raised all in for 12,100. Action folded to Ruberto who called and the two tabled their hands.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Tony Ruberto: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {k-Clubs} and {3-Diamonds} river did not change the lead as Ruberto took down the pot with his two pair, eliminating an opponent shortly after entering the tournament.
