Saloustros Doubles via Garcia; Reynolds Laments Fold
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Emmanouil Saloustros jammed from early position for 93,000, and Murilo Garcia three-bet jammed for around 170,000 from the button.
Scott Reynolds was in the big blind, and he took at least two minutes contemplating his decision, before electing to fold.
Emmanouil Saloustros: A♠Q♠ 
Murilo Garcia: A♦J♠
Saloustros had Garcia dominated, and made top pair on the Q♦9♥6♥ flop.
"Sh*t!" exclaimed Reynolds when he saw the flop, the A♥ turn giving Saloustros top two pair and leaving Garcia drawing dead, with the 10♠ river completing the board.
"I had pocket nines", said Reynolds as Saloustros raked in the pot.
