Salazar Takes the Chip Lead
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Andreas Ioakmides checked a 
flop from the small blind, and Eric Salazar bet 4,000 into a pot of around 12,000 in the big blind. Ioakmides called.
Ioakmides checked again on the 
turn, and Salazar bet 11,800. Ioakmides folded, shipping the pot and the current chip lead to Salazar, who is currently sitting in second on the HPT Player of the Year race and looking to give Nick Pupillo a sweat for the title.
