David Salituro

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mike Rollins and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 10♥J♥Q♠6♠ when the hijack bet 2,200. Rollins then raised to 4,500 in the cutoff, and his opponent came back with a reraise to 17,000. Rollins then moved all in for 47,600, and his opponent snap-called.

Rollins showed A♣K♠ for the nut straight, while his opponent could only show K♥9♦ for a smaller straight. The river was the 4♦ and Rollins doubled up.

"Noting you could do," a tablemate consoled the hijack as he handed over the massive pot.

A player in the cutoff bet 1,000 on a flop of 5♦2♦4♠ and Michael Bohmerwald raised to 4,000 in the big blind. "I'm all in," Remo Lupo said as he shoved from early position. The cutoff got out of the way. "I don't think I can fold, but I'm going to need a minute," Bohmerwald said as he took a moment before calling for his last 42,000.

Michael Bohmerwald: 6♦4♦ All in
Remo Lupo: A♣3♥

Lupo had flopped a straight, while Bohmerwald had a pair with straight and flush draws. The board ran out K♥9♠, and Lupo held on to send Bohmerwald to the rail.

"He's supposed to lay it down. I like the guy. He had enough chips to get away," Lupo said.
