Salomon Wins One; Loses Next
Rick Salomon raised 800 in middle position and he was called by both Jeff Fenster and the big blind.
The flop came A♣9♥3♦ and once the big blind checked, Salomon bet 1,500. Only Fenster called.
The 7♣ hit the turn and Salomon continued for 2,000 and Fenster called so quickly it almost beat Salomon's chips in the pot.
The 8♦ completed the board and Salomon slowed down with a check. Fenster bet 5,000 and Salomon instantly called. Fenster tabled A♠10♣ but it was no good as Salomon out-kicked him with A♦Q♣.
The following hand, Joshua Whitson raised 1,200 under the gun and Rick Salomon three-bet 5,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The table folded around to Whitson and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦6♦3♠ and Whitson check-called a bet of 5,000.
The 4♣ turn and the A♥ river were checked down and Whitson tabled J♣J♠ before Salomon mucked his hand.
