Goryoka Shuts Down Salimi
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
An early position player opened to 4,000, and got three callers.
Action checked to Alin Goryoka in the hijack, who bet 5,000. The button folded, and Barbod Salimi check-raised to 15,000 from the big blind.
The original raiser folded, and Goryoka went all-in. Salimi tanked for a bit, then chose to preserve his remaining 25,000 with a fold.
