Matt Salsberg

At a table nearby our reporting desk, Matt Salsberg had jumped up and fist pumped. Apparently, before the flop he had gotten two players all in and was way ahead. Salsberg was holding {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against Tyler Patterson who was holding {A-}{Q-} and another player who was holding {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} bringing Salsberg a set and nearly locking up the hand for him right there. The turn was the {8-Hearts} giving the player with tens a few outs, but leaving Patterson drawing dead. The river was the {A-Diamonds} though just to put some salt in Patterson's wound.

Salsberg had both players covered and with that he scooped a giant pot that pushed him close to the chip lead.

"You were supposed to fold the best hand!" Patterson joked with Salsberg after the hand.

"Wow," was heard from multiple players at the table as Salsberg scooped up the giant pot.
