Salazar Gets a Double Up Before Break

Eric Salazar opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Maurice Hawkins called from the cutoff. Ryan Eriquezzo shoved all in from the small blind and Salazar called off his remaining 805,000 chips. Hawkins folded {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} before the remaining two hands were tabled.

Eric Salazar: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Ryan Eriquezzo: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

It was a classic coin flip and Eriquezzo took the lead on the {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. As half of the rail cheered for a queen, the dealer burned and turned the {q-Clubs} to give Salazar a set of queens. The {6-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Salazar scored a double up.

The remaining six players are taking a short break as the level has concluded.
