Saltiel Survives with a One-Outer

With the board reading {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs} on the turn, the action was checked to Rob Saltiel on the button who bet. His opponent raised all-in and Saltiel made the call.

Saltiel had flopped a set with {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, but his opponent turned a higher set with {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. There was only one card in the deck that could save Saltiel, the case eight to make him quads.

Boom. The {8-Diamonds} hit the river as the table, the rail, and every reporter watching the table gasped. Saltiel doubled to 50,000 amidst all the cries of "so SICK!"
