Salomon Wins One; Loses Next
Rick Salomon raised 800 in middle position and he was called by both Jeff Fenster and the big blind.
The flop came A?9?3? and once the big blind checked, Salomon bet 1,500. Only Fenster called.
The 7? hit the turn and Salomon continued for 2,000 and Fenster called so quickly it almost beat Salomon's chips in the pot.
The 8? completed the board and Salomon slowed down with a check. Fenster bet 5,000 and Salomon instantly called. Fenster tabled A?10? but it was no good as Salomon out-kicked him with A?Q?.
The following hand, Joshua Whitson raised 1,200 under the gun and Rick Salomon three-bet 5,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The table folded around to Whitson and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9?6?3? and Whitson check-called a bet of 5,000.
The 4? turn and the A? river were checked down and Whitson tabled J?J? before Salomon mucked his hand.
