David Salituro

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Level 13: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dave Delaplane moved all in for 90,000 in the cutoff, Dave Ouellette committed his last 30,000 on the button, and Adam Desroches called in the big blind to put both opponents at risk.

Dave Ouellette: A♠A♣ All in
Dave Delaplane: 4♦4♣ All in
Adam Desroches: K♠K♥

The flop came K♦9♦10♠ to give Desroches the lead with a set as he was poised for the double knockout. The turn was the J♠, but the Q♠ river improved Ouellette to a straight to earn him the triple up. Delaplane and Desroches chopped the side pot with a straight on board.
