Salerno Raises Big on the River
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Elia Salerno and Enrico Campanile went heads-up to a flop of 10♠5♣3♥ when Campanile bet 100,000 from the hijack. Salerno called in the small blind.
Both players checked the 6♦ turn. Campanile then bet 345,000 on the Q♣ river, but this time Salerno came back with a raise to 1,070,000.
Campanile burned through three time banks until calling, and Salerno showed 6♥5♥ for two pair to win the pot.
The pace at this table has been so slow that tournament officials have had to stop the action at the other two tables twice this level to allow this table to catch up.
