Seward Cracks Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nick Seward
Nick Seward

Nicholas Seward opened to 5,500 from under the gun, and it folded to the big blind Justin Saliba, who three-bet to 30,000. Seward made the call.

The flop came 52K and Seward called a bet of 16,000 from Saliba.

After the 10 on the turn, Saliba checked to Seward, who bet out 75,000. Saliba took some time before moving all in for roughly 230,000, which Seward snap-called to put Saliba at risk.

Justin Saliba: AA All in
Nicholas Seward: 55

Seward flopped a set and was able to crack the aces of Saliba after the 9 on the river, sending out Saliba and moving Seward to the top of the chip counts.
