Firsau Avoids Repeating History... For Now
Nível 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Last year Vasili Firsau finished tenth in this very event. We're now down to ten players. This is where is journey ended last year, and obviously he has no intention of having it end so early this year.
In a recent hand, a short-stacked Firsau opened for 500,000 from the cutoff, which left him just 115,000 behind. Jack Salter debated what to do from the big blind, and he opted to just call. When the flop fell 
, Salter moved all in and Firsau called off.
Firsau: 
Salter: 
Firsau was ahead, but both a jack and king would give Salter the lead. Fortunately for Firsau, neither ppeared as the 
blanked on the turn followed by a 
on the river.
