Saliba Dodges Farcasanu's Outs to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
From the hijack, Vivian Saliba jammed for 139,000, and the action folded around to Alexandru Farcasanu in the big blind. Farcasanu looked at his cards and then went into the tank. The shove was for almost half of his stack, and after giving it some thought, Farcasanu stuck in the call.
Vivian Saliba: A♥K♦ 
Alexandru Farcasanu: A♠10♠
Saliba had the goods with big slick and looked poised to double up through Farcasanu.
The flop of 6♠Q♥Q♦ kept Saliba in the lead, while the K♠ turn improved her to a pair of kings and gave Farcasanu straight and flush outs. A 8♦ completed the board and Saliba remained in the tournament.
