| Mark Salerno (Woodbridge, Canada) started the day above average, and now finds himself in the top ten...after cracking Eric Polirer's pocket aces. |
As we head towards the money bubble, certain hands become critical for the larger stacks, just as much they do for the shorties looking to double. After Mark Salerno opened from early position to 16,700, action would fold to Eric Polirer (Coral Springs, FL), who three-bet shoved for just under 70,000. Players would quickly release their hands behind, leaving the action back on Salerno. After getting the exact count, he would make the call, and see some unfortunate news.
Salerno's A♠ Q♣ would be up against the A♥ A♣ of Polirer, and after the K♣ 6♠ 5♠ flop, it looked as if Eric would be earning a huge double. Many cards could have come on the turn to leave Salerno drawing dead, but the 10♣ actually left him with four outs heading to the river...one of which would arrive, in the shape of the J♠. "Yes...one time baby," Salerno exclaimed, as he pumped his fist in celebration. Polirer took the beat about as well as one could, and exited the tournament area, short of the money.
Mark Salerno - 230,000 (46bb)
