Saliba Sinks as Xu Busts Kerkaert
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
There were nearly 40,000 in the middle of a large pot that had already reached the river on the 10♠4♥7♥9♠Q♦ board.
Qiang Xu from early position and William Kerkaert from the cutoff both checked to Vivian Saliba, who put out a bet of 10,000.
Xu check-raised to 45,000 before Kerkaert went all-in for approximately 33,000. Saliba went into the tank as she considered her decision. She cut out the chips for a call, but never put them in as she opted to fold, and Xu and Kerkaert went to a showdown.
Xu showed K♥J♥ for a hand that started out as a flush draw, but ended up backing into a straight. A disappointed Kerkaert showed 10♦9♦ for two pair as he got up from the table and left the tournament area.
