Defending champ James Salmon was the bottom stack coming back from break but that quickly switched.

After a few minutes pause at the top of Level 36 to discuss a deal, they were back underway and Salmon opened to 1 million from the button to get calls from the other two.

Vitor Coelho and Jon Borenstein checked the Ts8s5d flop before Salmon fired 1.2 million. Coelho pulled the min-check/raise to 2.4 million, Borenstein folded, and Salmon popped it again to 5.8 million total. Coelho called to see the 3d turn and Salmon moved all-in after Coelho checked. The move was for 6,625 million and Coelho let his hand go to give Salmon the lead.
