Saliba Leaves Massey on Fumes
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Aaron Massey raised to 3,000 in the cutoff and Yang Lu called in the small blind. Justin Saliba then three-bet to 16,000 in the big blind and Massey moved all in. Lu got out of the way, but Saliba called for 63,000.
Justin Saliba: A♦A♠ 
Aaron Massey: A♥K♥
Saliba was far ahead with his aces as the K♦5♣3♠ flop gave Massey some hope with a pair. The 2♥ turn was safe for Saliba, while the 5♠ river secured his double up and left Massey nursing an extreme short stack.
