Bush Out Pips Salsberg
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Ernest Bush opened the action with a raise to 800 from the cutoff, which was called by Jeremy Ausmus on the button, and the big blind Matthew Salsberg.
After the 3♣6♦8♣ flop Salsberg checked to Bush who bet out 2,000. Ausmus quickly mucked and Salsberg made the call.
Both players checked to showdown after the 10♠ turn and 5♦ river. Salsberg then turned over 8♠4♣ for a pair of eights, but Bush had the winner with 8♦7♥ for a pair of eights, but his seven kicker played, to give him the pot.
