Vivian Saliba has had another strong showing at a PLO event, after a 4th place in a WSOP $600 Deepstack event, she now has to settle for 22nd in this event.

The last lady standing had got in her {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades} preflop against Nolan King's {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The board was clean initially for Saliba but the river got her on {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts} to trump her straight with a full house. Her finish is good for $6,835 plus any bounties she had accumulated during the day and on Day 1.

Vivian Saliba

Vivian Saliba opened to 85,000 from early position and was called by Alexander Zaverukha next to act. It folded around to the big blind who came along as well.

On a flop of {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} all players checked. The {6-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn and the big blind checked. Saliba decided to move all in for 290,000 and Zaverukha went deep in the tank. He eventually let his hand go and the big blind quickly folded, awarding the pot to Saliba.

Huge Pot Moves Amini Back Up

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Travis Pearson
Travis Pearson

After Amir Amini had dropped a little to around 1,500,000 from his peak of 2,200,000, he got right back up the leaderboard from a duel against Travis Pearson.

On a flop of {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Pearson had made it 60,000 from the button and Amini made it 191,000. They quickly got the rest of Pearson's chips in, totally around 900,000.

Pearson's cards weren't seen by PokerNews, but the table assured the reporter that Pearson had the nut flush draw.

It didn't go well for Pearson though, as Amini tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts} and the turn brought the {q-Clubs} giving Amini quads. The insignificant {4-Diamonds} came in on the river and busted Pearson.

In the next hand, it folded to Amini in the small blind. Whilst he was still gathering and setting down chips, the big blind Jay Harwood convinced him to limp call without looking, which he obliged. Harwood then potted it and Amini called.

The flop {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} drew a continuation bet from Harwood of 60,000, which Amini had check-called.

On a {7-Spades} turn, the action went check-check bringing in a {3-Clubs} river. Amini then lead for 205,000 and after Harwood went into the tank for a minute or two, let his hand go to award another pot to Amini.
