David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Rueda raised to 22,000 in early position and Ioritz Iradi called in middle position. Sergio Roa then moved all in from the cutoff and Rueda called for 232,000, while Iradi got out of the way.

At another table, Damian Gonzalez had moved all in for 60,000 from middle position and Stephane Verdier called in the big blind.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in the cutoff had a raise of 84,000 in front of him before Petru Tarlev shoved for 200,000 in the small blind. Terry Jordon reshoved in the hijack, and the cutoff folded.

Petru Tarlev: A♣K♣ All in
Terry Jordon: 6♥5♥

Jordon took the lead on the J♥8♥5♣ flop by not only hitting a pair but picking up a flush draw. The K♥ turn gave him his flush, and Tarlev took his cards and slammed them down on the table in frustration as he made his way to the exit. The 2♦ river sealed the pot for Jordon.

"That's my favorite hand. I always play it. I knew he had ace-king," Jordon said.
