Salter Puts Badziakouski All-In

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The board read {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} with over 150,000 in the middle already and both Mikita Badziakouski (hijack) and Jack Salter (button) had checked.

The {5-Diamonds} on the river completed the board, Badziakouski tanked for about two minuted before betting 33,000. Now it was Salter's turn to take his time to consider his options, after a while, Salter moved forward his stack of 25,000-value chips worth almost 500,000 which would put Badziakouski all-in as he had left. Badziakouski got up from his chair, sat back down, shook his head, glanced at Salter, and dived into the tank. After a while, he looked at Salter once more before folding.
