Goeller Shows Salerno the Bluff; Stanciu Survives on the River
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Andreas Goeller limped in from the small blind, Elia Salerno raised to 35,000 in the big blind, and Goeller called.
The flop came J♠5♠6♠ and Salerno bet 17,000. Goeller called and the 9♦ fell on the turn.
Salerno then bet 52,000 and Goeller again called. The river was the 9♠ and Goeller led out for 120,000. Salerno instantly folded, and Goeller showed 6♥2♥ as he took the pot.
At another table, Traian Stanciu was all in for 120,000 from the cutoff and up against Grzegorz Flak in the big blind.
Traian Stanciu: A♠Q♥ 
Grzegorz Flak: K♣Q♦
Flak came from behind to take the lead on the K♠J♣4♠ flop with a pair of kings, while the turn was the 2♣. The 10♥ river improved Stanciu to a straight, and he doubled up.
