Salazar Sanchez Starts Strong
Nível 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Table 44 just recently opened with a few new entries joining the field with a 30,000 starting stack. However, Thao Nguyen Hong was moved from another table and was already down to just over 13,000 chips when he opened to 1,000 in middle position. The button flat-called and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez put his fresh stack to work by reraising to 6,200 in the small blind. Hong called and the button got out of the way.
The flop came Q♠5♥3♥ and Salazar Sanchez continued with a bet of 2,500. Hong shoved all in for just over 7,000 and Salazar Sanchez snapped him off. Hong tabled K♣10♣ and Salazar Sanchez held A♥J♥. The runout of 5♣, 7♠ changed nothing and Salazar Sanchez's ace-high was good enough to eliminate Hong.
