Santy Cracks Saliba's Aces on the River
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Vivian Saliba opened under the gun to 15,000 and Lisa Santy went all in for 58,000. Xiaojing Guo tanked for a few minutes in the big blind before shoving with the biggest stack. Saliba snap-called to create a three-way showdown:
Lisa Santy: Q♣Q♦
Vivian Saliba: A♥A♠
Xiaojing Guo: A♦8♦
Saliba was in great shape to scoop the big pot, but the board revealed 8♠3♣10♣J♠9♠ to give a runner-runner straight to Santy to triple her stack. Saliba took down the side pot and Guo was left with less than 10 big blinds.
