Alt Runs Into the Nuts, Salerno Climbs Above a Million
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
More than 100,000 was already in the pot as Elia Salerno and Dinesh Alt went to the turn on a board of A♥8♠4♠7♦. Alt then bet 55,000 from the cutoff before Salerno moved all in from the big blind.
Alt took a minute before calling for his last 230,000, turning over A♠J♥. Salerno, though, had the nut straight with 6♦5♦, and Alt was already drawing dead by the 4♣ river and was sent to the rail.
