Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Kim Long Trieu made it 1,250 with two eights and after Peter Raimondi called, Budwey Salhab upped it to 5,000.
Both players called and Trieu smashed the 
flop. Salhab led for 7,000, Trieu made it 15,000, and after Raimondi stepped out of the way, Salhab pushed in.
Trieu called off his 10,000 behind and held on a brick-like river against Salhab's tens. Don't feel too bad for Bud though. He got back over the six-figure mark busting local legend Dan Wagner not too much later.
Wagner shoved a weak ace for 12,000 with a bunch of dead money in the pot and Salhab picked him off by calling with the 
and making a pair. Wagner rang the reentry bell immediately following the hand.
