Salas Falls, Puente Survives
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Just moments after Damian Salas hit the rail after losing a flip, Jose Puente was on the ropes as well for 140,000. He was up against Keith Block and the two players were off to the races.
Jose Puente: 
Keith Block: 
The board ran out 
and Puente's pocket jacks held on to secure him a double-up. Block was left with just 84,000 after the hand, which is under 10 big blinds.
