Mathers Drops Salazar from the Tournament
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The flop read 
and there was around 35,000 in the pot when two players saw all of their chips head into the middle. One being Kevin Mathers for 107,000 and the other was Eric Salazar who fell just short of that chip mark.
Eric Salazar: 
Kevin Mathers: 
Both players tabled the same pair but Mathers was ahead with his ace-kicker. Salazar could still hit two pair or a straight to stay alive but the 
runout did not improve his hand in the slightest as Mathers scooped the pot, sending Salazar to the rail.
