With 40,000 in the middle and a board showing {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, Eric Salazar moved all in for 51,400 after facing a 22,000 bet from his opponent. His opponent thought for a second and asked the dealer how much more, then called.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Salazar had flopped the nuts and left his opponent almost drawing dead after the {7-Spades} came on the turn.

The river came the {4-Hearts} and that sealed the deal and gave Salazar the double up.

Kings Are Hot for Lamonica

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The player in middle position moved all in for 9,200 and was called by two players including Phil Lamonica from the big blind.

Lamonica bet 6,000 after a {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop and his opponent folded.

Lamonica: {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
All-In opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The {6-Hearts} on the turn meant Lamonica's opponent needed an ace and only an ace to win the hand.

The river was not an ace instead it came the {10-Diamonds} and Lamonica eliminated his opponent.
