Saliba Gets Into Trouble With Fresh Stack
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Vivian Saliba was one of the players who made a fresh entry in the first level of Day 2, and she was involved in a blind-on-blind battle with Ruslan Volkov. The pot had 30,600 chips in it when both players checked the board of A♦10♥5♣9♦. The 4♥ river then completed the board and Saliba checked once again from the small blind.
Volkov put out a bet of 19,000, and Saliba thought it over for a few minutes before putting in the required amount for a call. Volkov tabled A♠2♥ for top pair with no kicker, and he raked in the pot when Saliba mucked her cards with visible frustration.
