Salles Gets There

From under the gun, Pierre Canali raised to 2,500. It folded around to PokerStars Team Pro Gualter Salles in the small blind and he reraised to 7,500. Theirry Benarrous was in the big blind and moved all in for 8,400. Canali moved all in and Salles called. Salles had 36,000, just less than Canali at the start of the hand so it would be he and Benarrous at risk.

Canali: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Salles: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Benarrous: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and while Canali rivered a set, it also gave Salles a flush.

With the pot, Benarrous hit the rail, Salles chipped up to 85,000 and Canali was crippled with just a couple of thousand left. He busted the very next hand.
