Heunks Holds to Double
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Three-way to the 10♦8♣K♣ flop, Giovanni Salemi bet 6,000 into a pot of 17,500 from the big blind. ® folded in early position, but Michael Heunks shoved all in for 23,400. Salemi quickly called.
Michael Heunks: K♠9♠
Giovanni Salemi: A♣J♣
Salemi gained extra outs by pairing on the J♠ turn, but the 7♦ bricked in Heunks' favor. His top pair held, and he doubled up.
Salemi still had chips behind, but he lost them the very next hand to be eliminated.
