We saw the cameras swarm over to a table, so we walked over to see what was happening. When we arrived, we saw that last year's eight place finisher Robert Salaburu was all in holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, and he was up against his opponent's {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The two players had to wait for at least a minute with the cards face up so that everything could get situated, and eventually, the dealer was ready to put the board out there.

Salaburu stormed into the lead right away, as the flop came down {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Neither player reacted to the flop, and the turn came down the {6-Diamonds}. Salaburu was just looking to dodge a queen, and the dealer fumbled the river card before flipping it over face up: {7-Clubs}.

Salaburu notched the double up with half an hour left in the night, putting him up to 205,000.
