Chad Link Eliminated in 16th Place ($3,195)
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Chad Link raised to 90,000 in middle position and Cody Stanford flat-called on the button. Eric Salazar three-bet to 320,000 from the small blind and Link four-bet jammed all in for 1,045,000. Stanford quickly folded and Salazar called just as fast.
Chad Link: A♥K♣
Eric Salazar: Q♠Q♣
It was a classic coin flip for a huge stack this late in the tournament. The board ran out J♦9♥3♠2♦4♦ and Salazar's pocket queens held on to eliminate Link in 16th place.
