Salinas Hits Runner Runner to Survive
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Cary Katz called from early position. Ramiro Salinas raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Katz remarked, "Are we playing limit?...You min-raised?". Both players called, taking them three-ways to the Q♦J♣8♣ flop.
Action checked to Salinas, who bet 150,000. Badziakouski raised to 300,000 and Katz folded. Salinas moved all in and Badziakouski snap called.
Ramiro Salinas: A♦A♠
Mikita Badziakouski: J♠J♦
Badziakouski was first to show, and Salinas looked at the set of jacks, stood and slammed down his pocket aces.
The dealer turned over the K♣, which brought in Salinas' hope of the straight. He retook his seat after seeing the 10♠ river go his way.
