Rubbing Salter in the Wound
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Action folded to Ilya Krupin in the cutoff and he put in a raise to 1,700. The button and small blind both folded, and then the UK's Jack Salter decided it was time to go and shoved all in for 11,325 from the big. Krupin made the call and the cards were turned up.
Salter: 
Krupin: 
Both players held an ace, but Salter was in bad shape with his inferior kicker. Fortunately for him, he got a bit of luck when the 
flop delivered him two pair. The 
turn opened up a counterfeit option for Krupin, but the 
river did not complete it. Salter's two pair held to give him a double.
