Saliba Gets Active from the Start

Adam Lamers

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Vivian Saliba just registered for the Main Event and was seated at a new table with fellow 888poker ambassadors Ian Simpson and Lucia Navarro. Saliba wasted no time getting involved in the action after making a three-bet in middle position against Ajay Kejriwal.

The two players went heads-up to a queen-high flop and Kejriwal just check-called a bet from Saliba. The A? and A? runout slowed down Saliba as both players checked the river. Kejriwal showed Q?Q? for a full house and Saliba flashed her Q? before the cards went into the muck.

On the next hand, Saliba opened to 700 from under the gun and Kejriwal called from the big blind. The flop came 10?10?9? and Kejriwal check-called a bet of 1,000 from Saliba. The turn was the 9? and Saliba won the pot with a bet of 1,500, flashing her K?K? in the process.
