Tensions Rise as Salazar Shows Down Aces

Eric Salazar raised to 225,000 in early position and Josh Butler defended from the big blind. The flop came J♠2♥2♦ and Butler check-called a bet of 150,000 from Salazar.

The turn was the 7♥ and Butler checked again. Salazar threw in a bet of 375,000 and Butler dipped into the tank for over a minute. Jason Maeroff called the clock but Salazar disagreed that not enough time had passed.

Butler was given 30 seconds to act and then flicked in a call. The river was the 8♥ and both players quickly checked. Salazar turned over A♣A♦ for two pair and was awarded the pot.

All three players exchanged some words with their voices getting increasingly louder until the floor intervened and cooled things off.
