Saltsberg Continues Ascent
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Heads up to the 5♣4♣A♦ flop, Tsuf Saltsberg checked from the big blind, and Ermanno Di Nicola bet 150,000 in the hijack. Saltsberg called, and he check-called again when Di Nicolas sized up to 400,000 on the 9♦ turn.
The 10♣ river then saw Saltsberg lead out for 425,000. Di Nicola spent about a minute in the tank before he released his cards and conceded the pot.
