Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Armand Anicete raised from under the gun to 40,000 and Matt Salsberg three-bet to 155,000 from early position and Anicete flat called.

The flop arrived with 7♠8♣5♣ and Anicete checked. Salsberg moved all in for about 200,000 and Anicete quickly called.

Matt Salsberg: A♣9♥ All in
Armand Anicete: A♠A♥

Salsberg needed some help which he received in the form of a straight when the turn was the 6♣ and the river was the 4♦.

Lexy Gavin-Mather was at the table, so Salsberg leaned over and said, "Lexy did you see that? That was a good one."
