Salvatore Greco
Salvatore Greco

After a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Salvatore Greco ended up all in and at risk and he was called two ways by Raphael Pelzers and Shlomi Benguigui. Pelzers splashed his remaining chips in after the {10-Diamonds} turn and Benguigui snap-called while enjoying a massage.

Salvatore Greco: {7-Spades}{2-Spades}
Raphael Pelzers: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Shlomi Benguigui: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

Benguigui had plenty of outs with the flush draw and gutshot, and he indeed got there with the {Q-Clubs} river to eliminate two opponents.
