Truesdale Spikes River to Double Through Salimi
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Shane Truesdale was in a heads-up pot against Barbod Salimi on a board of 
with about half of his stack already in the middle.
Truesdale moved all-in for around 120,000 and Salimi thought for a minute before putting out a stack of chips for a call.
Shane Truesdale: 
Barbod Salimi: 
Truesdale was out-kicked by Salimi and at risk of being eliminated. But the dealer put out the 
on the river and the Day 1a chip leader smacked the table in celebration as he hit two pair to stay alive.
"Oh, that's fugly!" a tablemate yelled. "That's fugly."
"Wow," reacted another.
Salimi was gracious after the suck-out and knocked the table with his fist to tell Truesdale "nice hand."
