David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Three players built a pot of around 60,000 as they went to the turn on a board of Q♠J♣2♣5♦. Assyl Tleuzhanov then bet 35,000 from early position and only Tamazi Skhirtladze called in the big blind.

The river was the Q♥ and Tleuzhanov bet 50,000, enough to put Skhirtladze all in. Skhirtladze called for his last chips and Tleuzhanov turned over Q♦10♣ for trip queens.

Skhirtladze threw his cards into the middle of the table and angrily pushed over his stack as he made his exit. Tleuzhanov asked the dealer to retrieve his cards, but they had already been lost among the other mucked cards.

Maria Zapateria raised to 6,000 on the button and Armen Davydov took some time before tossing in the call from the big blind.

Zapateria slid out a bet of 65,000, more than enough to put Davydov all in. It did not take long for Davydov to let his hand go, with Zapateria raking in the chips.
