Eriquezzo Opens Up a Gap
Level 26
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Eric Salazar raised it up to 180,000 on the button and Ryan Eriquezzo called from the big blind. The flop fell 
and both players checked to the 
on the turn.
Eriquezzo led out for 190,000 and Salazar stuck around to see the 
on the river. Eriquezzo reached back for a large bet of 665,000 and Salazar went into the tank again. After playing with his calling chips for a couple of minutes, Salazar dropped in a call.
Eriquezzo tabled 
for an eight-high straight and Salazar was forced to send his cards to the muck. With that pot, Eriquezzo has opened up the largest lead of this heads-up battle thus far.
