The Salsberg Express Don't Stop Fo' No One

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We caught up to Matt Salsberg in yet another giant pot before the flop. There was already 40,000 in the middle and Salsberg was faced with an all in from another player across the table for what looked like 45,000 more.

Eventually Salsberg announced a call.

"Do you have ace king?" the player asked Salsberg.

"No," he replied and the players turned up their hands.

Salsberg: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
All in: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

"Nine of diamonds on the flop, end it there," Salsberg asked the dealer.

Salsberg almost got his wish when the {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{J-Hearts} came down on the flop, giving him a set. The turn was the {K-Spades} though, which gave Salsberg a little sweat. Fortunately the river was the {8-Hearts} pairing the board and locking up yet another giant pot for Salsberg.
