Salomon Puts Big Pressure on Hansen

Gus Hansen raised it up to 185,000 from late position and Rick Salomon defended his big blind.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and again it was checked.

This hand seemed to be of small importance, but then the {5-Hearts} got both players to put in chips.

Salomon lead out for 200,000 and Hansen decided to raise it up to 605,000. Salomon put in a three-bet to 1,605,000 and the pressure was back on Hansen. After tanking for a very long time, and counting out the million needed to make the call, he folded his cards.
