Ghosh, What a River!
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Frank Schuler raised to 115,000 from under the gun and Asish Ghosh jammed for 975,000 from middle position. Elia Salerno called for his stack of 500,000 and Schuler reluctantly folded.
Elia Salerno: A♦K♦ 
Asish Ghosh: A♠Q♥
Salerno's big slick had Ghosh dominated heading to the 9♣6♦3♣ flop, where neither player improved. Salerno picked up a flush draw on the 2♦ turn, which took away one of Ghosh's outs. However, the Q♠ completed the board, giving Ghosh the win with a pair of queens.
Salerno bolted up from his chair and stood at the table, stunned for a few moments at having been eliminated in such a brutal fashion.
