Salas Takes It Without Showdown
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Damian Salas opened from under the gun for 12,000. Action folded all the way around to the big blind, who put in the call.
The pair checked through the 
flop leading to the 
turn. The big blind took the initiative on this street, firing for 14,000. Salas thought for a minute or so before putting in a call with a good deal of hesitation.
On the 
river, the big blind checked to Salas, who fired 44,000 into the middle, sending his opponent into the tank for several minutes. He eventually folded, tossing his cards haphazardly towards the dealer, where they landed face up, exposing 
for two pair. Salas gently pushed his cards into the muck, scooping the pot without a showdown.
