Chen's Sends Saliba Straight Out
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Skye Chen raised to 17,000 in early position and Vivian Saliba in middle position three-bet to 37,000. When action returned to her, Chen four-bet to 163,000. And Saliba called putting her tournament life at risk.
Vivian Saliba: J♥J♣
Skye Chen: A♥A♣
Saliba was looking at a potential double up when the flop came Q♣J♦10♦ giving her a set. But Chen still had outs for a straight draw to turn things around. The K♦ turn dropped completing Chen's straight. The 8♣ river sealed Saliba's fate to head to the payout counter and claim her cashout prize.
