Big Pot For Hariton
Stefan Toma opened to 1,200 from the hijack and found calls from Veaceslav Hariton in the cutoff and Vivian Saliba in the small blind. Alexandru Matei then three-bet to 4,000 in the big blind, with Hariton and Saliba coming along.
"Sorry for the bad beat" said Saliba, as the dealer collected the chips and turned over the 5?4?5? flop. Saliba checked to Matei, who fired 3,500 into the middle. Hariton quickly raised to 10,000 and Saliba took some time before making the call.
Action was back on Matei, who said, "Now I'm a bit confused," before deciding to get out of the way. The 8? turn saw Saliba take some time to make her next decision.
Hariton then bet out of turn, sliding out 15,000. Saliba took another minute before making the call. Both players then checked the Q? river.
Hariton showed 9?9? for two pair, taking down a nice pot as Saliba mucked.
