Kim Long Trieu made it 1,250 with two eights and after Peter Raimondi called, Budwey Salhab upped it to 5,000.

Both players called and Trieu smashed the {j-}{8-}{7-} flop. Salhab led for 7,000, Trieu made it 15,000, and after Raimondi stepped out of the way, Salhab pushed in.

Trieu called off his 10,000 behind and held on a brick-like river against Salhab's tens. Don't feel too bad for Bud though. He got back over the six-figure mark busting local legend Dan Wagner not too much later.

Wagner shoved a weak ace for 12,000 with a bunch of dead money in the pot and Salhab picked him off by calling with the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and making a pair. Wagner rang the reentry bell immediately following the hand.
