Action was picked up on the river with a big pot brewing between Justin Saliba and Andrew Lichtenberger.

With the board showing 42JQ3 and roughly 60,000 in the pot, Lichtenberger in the big blind was facing a bet from Justin Saliba on the button, for all of his stack of 87,000.

Lichtenberger was the covering stack and used one time extension before putting in the call. Saliba got out of seat and turned over A9 for just ace high, while Lichtenberger tabled the winner 1010 to knock out Saliba.

Elsewhere, Ebony Kenny and Seth Davies have joined the field.
