Salsberg Written Off the Show
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Alexander Villa raised to 130,000 from the cutoff before Matt Salsberg moved all in for 695,000 on the button. Tim Van Loo in the small blind gave it some thought before mucking, but big blind Quan Zhou snap-shoved for his last 800,000. Villa folded to leave Salsberg and Zhou heads-up.
Matt Salsberg: A?J?
Quan Zhou: A?Q?
Salsberg was dominated and fell far behind on the Q?8?5? flop as Zhou made top pair. The Q? turn gave Zhou trips and left Salsberg drawing dead heading to the 5?, ending the Hollywood screenwriter's Main Event run.
