Saliba Takes A Hit, Tatar Triples Up
Level 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
John Racener opened to 1,300 in early position and Marek Tatar three-bet to 3,000 one seat over. Vivian Saliba was behind Tatar and cold-called the three-bet.
In the blinds, Robert Wilke snap-shoved 14,300, Racener snap-mucked, and Tatar reshoved for 24,000. Saliba took around twenty seconds before committing the calling chips.
Robert Wilke: 
Marek Tatar: 
Vivian Saliba: 
The dealer spread out an all-diamond flop of 
, which left Wilke drawing dead right away. Tatar had flopped a flush with his nine-six, while Saliba needed the board to pair to win. The 
on the turn and 
on the river kept Tatar in front and he nearly tripled up.
