Tough Spot for Saliba, Balsiger Benefits

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jacob Balsiger

Vivian Saliba bet 150,000 on the river of a {5-}{5-}{2-}{j-}{3-} board and Jake Balsiger check-raised all-in for 446,000.

Saliba went into the tank, only having about 515,000 herself. Several moments went by and eventually, Saliba tossed in a calling chip.

Balsiger tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for a full house, besting Saliba's {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and the former November Niner doubled, leaving Saliba with crumbs.
