Level 21 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Justin Saliba recalled this hand to PokerNews in which he opened with a raise to 18,000 chips that was called by Eric Wasserson.

The flop came Q♠9♦7♠, and both players checked.

Saliba again checked the turn of 4♠, then called Wasserson's 20,000-chip bet.

When the river hit 5x, Saliba bet 45,000. Wasserson raised all in for 217,000 chips.

Saliba made the call.

Eric Wasserson: 6♠5xAll in
Justin Saliba: Q♣3♣

Saliba's pair of queens was good enough for him to advance.
