Salant (left) Giving Mallor Action

The most popular player at table 6 is Jeffrey Salant (Irvington, NY). "They're crying bloody murder, but I'm giving them action and I hit some crazy hands."

One of those crazy hands involves Salant calling a reraise preflop with (6 6). Three players see the flop of [2 3 8], Salant ships 17k all-in and is called by Mark Salinaro (QQ). The turn is [7] and the river brings [6], a two outer for Salant to stay alive with a set.

"Oh well," says Salinaro, "at least I'm still here and making a comeback."

Sitting to Salant's left is Ross "Tysonduke23" Mallor (New York, NY) who sums it up. "He's the worst player I've ever seen live," says Mallor half seriously, "and he'll tell you he made two terrible plays."

"Yeah, but I'm giving you guys action," Salant fires back.

"I figured out he's got dinner and a show, and has to be out of here by 8," says Mallor.

Salant's stack is now close to 100K when he raises the turn, checks the river and showdowns (A 2) for a pair of twos to beat his opponent's missed (A K).

Also at the table is Christian "DA_Professor" Iacobellis (Rye, NY) who's sitting on 44k.

120 players remain with an average stack of 30k. Level 7 continues (300/600/75 ante).
