Salim Gets in Ahead, Stays Ahead

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ablahad Salim moved all in for around 6,000 on a flop that read {5-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs} and the pot already had around 10,000 in it. There was one other player that stuck around and the two runners flipped over their cards and Salim would be at risk.

Ablahad Salim: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The turn fell the {k-Clubs} and Salim would need to dodge a nine ball. The river came a {7-Clubs} and Salim held on to take down the pot, securing himself a double.
