Salem Takes Chip Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Alex Cruz opened to 900,000 on the button with A♦10♦ and was called by Naseem Salem in the big blind with 4♠3♠.
The flop was big for Salem as it came 6♦7♥5♦ to give him a straight. Salem checked it over to Cruz, who bet 900,000 with his flush draw. Salem check-raised to 2,500,000 and was called by Cruz.
Salem kept up the betting with a wager of 5,000,000 on the 6♠ turn. Cruz stuck around with a call.
The 3♥ river did not slow Salem down as he went all-in for 16,425,000. Cruz did not waste much time making the fold as Salem took over the chip lead.
