On the first hand of the day, Joseph Salvaggi open-shoved from under the gun for 80,000. Vadim Shlez was next to act and called the all-in. It folded around to Farad Jamasi in the big blind, he thought for a while, used a time chip, but folded his hand.

Salvaggi: Kc2h
Shlez: AhTh

Salvaggi was behind but had two live cards for a double. Shlez paired his ace on the Ad2d2c but Salvaggi made trip deuces. The 4d turn and 8d river were safe for Salvaggi’s double up.

Joseph Salvaggi – 200,000 (13 bb)
Vadim Shlez – 445,000 (30 bb)
