Eric Salazar raised to 7,000 from the cutoff only to have the player in the small blind three-bet jam for 62,000. Salazar asked for a count, paused for a few beats, and then made the call.
Eric Salazar: 
Small Blind: 
Salazar had the better ace and the kicker played after the 
flop gave both players two pair.
The 
turn was of no consequence but the 
river was as it rendered the kicker useless as both players made a full house to chop.

The hijack opened for 6,000 and Yotam Shmuelov moved in for 51,000 in the next seat. Action folded back to the opener, who seemed to consider a fold but opted to stick the money in with a "good luck."
Shmuelov: 
Opponent:
Shmuelov did need some luck but the 
brought it. The 
turn left him fading more cards on the river, but the 
was safe for him.

After the flop Yeh didn't have to worry about too much. The
