Salazar Sanchez Wakes Up with Aces
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Narongsak Dhanjaichon was down to just 90,000 chips and pushed all in from middle position. Javier Etayo flat-called in the hijack and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez reshoved all in from the big blind for around 360,000. Etayo gave it some thought but decided to send his cards into the muck.
Narongsak Dhanjaichon: J♠J♣
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: A♥A♣
The flop came 10♦9♠3♦ and Salazar Sanchez was still holding strong with his pocket aces. The J♥ rolled off on the turn to give Dhanjaichon a set of jacks but it was the A♦ on the river that gave Salazar Sanchez a better set for the elimination.
