The player in the cutoff opened to 1,650 and Damian Salas put in a re-raise from the big blind. After a short while, the player in the cutoff went all in for 26,850. Salas went into the tank for about three minutes, opting to make the call.

His opponent tabled {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

and Salas was thrilled to see that, as he turned over {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

. His overpair holding up wasn't a problem as the flop came down {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

to give him unbeatable quads.

That pot boosted Salas' stack to over 130,000.
