Heads-up on a flop of 7♠9♦K♥, a player in the cutoff bet 6,000 and Mo Salem called in middle position.
The turn was the 2♣ and the cutoff moved all in. Salem quickly called for 14,600 and turned over A♣K♣ for top pair, and his opponent could only show A♠Q♣ for ace-high. The river was the 4♠, and Salem doubled up.
