David Salituro

Level 31 : 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of J♣5♥K♠ where Kirill Burtin bet 375,000 from under the gun. Ignacio Garrido folded the cutoff, while Maher Achour called in the big blind.

The turn was the 3♥ and Burtin bet 1,400,000. Achour again called and the 4♦ fell on the river. Burtin then moved all in for 2,150,000.

Achour used up two time banks and nearly had his clock run out again before he called. Burtin turned over 4♥4♣ for a rivered set and a stunned Achour flipped over K♣9♦ before handing over the massive pot.
