David Salituro

Level 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Omar Martinez raised to 800 in middle position before Chris Da-Silva moved all in for his last 3,000 in the hijack. Christopher Millar then reraised to 8,000 in the small blind, and Martinez got out of the way.

Chris Da-Silva: A♠10♥ All in
Christopher Millar: A♦K♣

Da-Silva was dominated and fell further behind as the 8♣7♣5♣ flop gave Millar a flush draw. The 7♥ turn left open the possibility of a chop, but Millar made his flush on the 2♣ river to send Da-Silva to the rail.

The turn was the 10♣ and Morreale bet 7,200. Murphy again called and the 9♥ fell on the river. Morreale then moved all in.

At another table, Jimmy Kebe had raised to 1,000 in early position and Jesse Algranti called in the hijack. Jamie Walden then stuck in his last 3,000 from the button and both opponents called.

Kebe checked the 6♠5♠4♦ flop and Algranti bet 2,000. Kebe then moved all in for 18,500 and Algranti called.

Jamie Walden: A♠9♣ All in
Jimmy Kebe: K♣K♠ All in
Jesse Algranti: 8♠8♣

Kebe was ahead with his kings, while the 4♥ turn and 5♦ river failed to improve either Walden or Algranti. Kebe scooped the entire pot, sending Walden to the rail while earning a double up off Algranti.
