Salazar Busts Cox and Sammartino
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Towards the end of the level, the pace of all-in showdowns picked up again with the next three-way contest getting all the chips in before the flop between Aden Salazar, Dario Sammartino, and Michael Cox.
Michael Cox: 
Dario Sammartino: 
Aden Salazar: 
The board ran out 
and Salazar spiked the nut flush on the river to knock out the two shorter stacks.
"I would have flopped a set as well, I had tens," the runaway chip leader Michael Duek mentioned in table chat. Salazar had been hot on his heels not that long ago but is now in the middle of the pack.
