Salim’s Stack Jacked Up

Three players made it as far as the turn of a :::Jh :::Kc :::5d :::7h board but only two would make it to the river – a gentleman known on our player list only as “El Salim” (I expect a name or two is missing there) went all in from the hijack for 8,650 eliciting a fold from one opponent but a lengthy dwell and then a call from the other.

Salim: :::Jc :::Jd
Calling gentleman: :::9c :::9h

River: :::Qc

The third player sadly informed the table that he’d folded pocket queens, but it was way too late for regret. Salim more than doubled up to 27,000, and we play on.
