Eight on the River for Salas
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player opened to 13,000 and its as called by the hijack before Damian Salas decided to three-bet from the big blind to 33,000. Only the hijack stayed interested and called.
The flop revealed 6♥7♠3♠ and Salas continued for 25,000. After some thinking, his opponent shoved for a remaining stack around 57,000 and Salas snap-called with a better stack for the following showdown:
Damien Salas: 8♥8♦
Hijack: 10♦10♥
Salas had the dominated hand and a A♠ didn't change anything on the turn. However, a 8♠ showed up on the river, giving a set to Salas and busting his opponent from the event.
