Salimbene Doubles Through Hong
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Sergio Fernandez opened to 35,000 in early position and Peter Hong called from the cutoff. Nicholas Salimbene was in the big blind and three-bet shoved all in for 414,000. Fernandez folded and Hong took a moment before calling.
Nicholas Salimbene: 
Peter Hong: 
The flop came 
to give Hong a pair of queens but Salimbene's pocket kings were still out front. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river solidified the double up for Salimbene.
