Salerno Catches a Running Straight to Bust Lakatosh
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mykola Lakatosh moved all in for 80,000 in middle position and both Elia Salerno in the cutoff and big blind Martino Cito called.
Salerno and Cito checked to the river on a board of Q♦3♦J♥K♠9♥ when Salerno bet 115,000. Cito quickly folded.
Lakatosh started getting up from his seat, recognizing that he was likely beat as he turned over A♠J♠. His instincts were correct, as Salerno showed J♦10♦ for a straight to win the pot.
Start-of-day chip leader Peter Kamaras is also at this table.
