Salaburu Crushes Wolpert's Aces

On a {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop Jamie Sill checked to Leo Wolpert who bet 23,000. Robert Salaburu decided to raise it up to 46,000. The action was on Sill who called, and Wolpert moved all in.

Wolpert put both his to the test, and Salaburu called all in for this tournament life. Sill folded his cards, and we got to see the following showdown.

Leo Wolpert{A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Robert Salaburu{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and Salaburu hit quads. On the river the {6-Hearts} hit, and Wolpert paid off a total of 340,000 chips. He still had plenty left, while Salaburu is in great shape as well now.

Greenberg on the Go

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Ben Greenberg
Ben Greenberg

Ben Greenberg of Boulder, Colorado has had a terrific Day 4 thus far, having begun the day with nearly a million and worked that stack up over 2 million and first-place position during the first two two-hour levels.

Greenberg is a graduate of Duke University where he majored in English and psychology. He is currently pursuing a career as a poker pro. At this moment his wife is flying in from Colorado to follow his Main Event progress in person.

Ben is playing with a broken arm, an injury sustained while sliding into home plate in a softball game. The injury is clearly not hampering his ability to push chips in the middle, however.
