Salsberg Makes the Right Call

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

There was about 15,000 in the middle when we walked up to the table to see Matt Salsberg heads up in a pot on a completed board of {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Salsberg checked to his opponent, who moved all in fairly quickly for his last 5,925. Salsberg got an official count, cut out the chips for the call, and then stuck them in after a few more moments of though. His opponent simply shook his and tabled {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for bottom pair, and Salsberg showed {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for fourth pair on board, which was good enough to claim the sizeable pot.

After winning that hand, Salsberg jumped up to 49,000.

Scott vs. McNeil

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Before the break, we caught a hand between Kara Scott and recent bracelet winner Calen McNeil. McNeil raised to 1,050 from the cutoff, and Scott three-bet to 2,500 from the button. McNeil made the call, and flop came {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. McNeil checked, and Scott continued for 2,100. McNeil thought for a minute, and then pushed his cards toward the dealer.

After the hand, McNeil sits with 10,000 in front of him, while Scott climbed up to 19,000.
