Salerno Turns Quads to Decimate Stranak
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Elia Salerno was all in for 740,000 from the big blind and up against Samuel Stranak under the gun.
Elia Salerno: 7♥7♣
Samuel Stranak: A♠Q♣
The players were off to the races, but Stranak quickly ran out of gas on the J♥7♦2♠ flop as Salerno flopped a set.
The turn was the 7♠ and Salerno made quads. The A♥ on the river was useless to Stranak as he handed over most of his stack.
Stranak doubled up a few hands later when he moved all in with Q♥J♥ against Hertsel Levy's K♠Q♦ and made two pair on the 2♠8♣Q♠J♣3♣ board.
