Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Budwey Salhab
Budwey Salhab

The action folded around to Budwey Salhab on the button and he shoved for about 400,000. Patrick Tighe looked down at his holdings and snap-called out of the big blind, putting Salhab at risk.

Budwey Salhab: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Patrick Tighe: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

An unfortunate spot for Salhab turned to gold when the flop fanned out {6-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Hearts}. The turn was a safe {8-Diamonds} with Salhab just needing to fade a king on the river. It was not to be his day as the {k-Diamonds} peeled off sending Salhab to the rail in 14th place.
