Action folded to Joseph Salorio in the cutoff, who opened. Patrick Leonard called from the small blind before Vo Ngo squeezed from the big blind. Salorio, left with just 5,000 behind, moved all in. Leonard made the call.
Leonard checked the 7♣Q♠K♣ flop, but Ngo bet, prompting Leonard to fold, leaving Salorio heads-up against Ngo.
Joseph Salorio: K♠J♣
Vo Ngo: 3♦3♥
Salorio was ahead with top pair, and the 6♥ turn and 2♦ river brought no change. He secured a crucial triple-up to stay alive in the tournament.
