Congratulations to Robert Salaman, Winner of Event #2
That's all she wrote folks! Allan Oh was crippled down to just over one big blind, and he was actually able to double up three times before Robert Salaman did him in. On the final hand, Salaman held Ace-Eight to the King-Queen of Oh. It was a fair fight to the flop, but after an ace fell, Oh was drawing thin. He was officially drawing dead when a four came on the turn, and Salaman took down the title.
For his efforts, Salaman will take home $27,480, while Oh secured over $19,000. That wraps it up for this event. Thanks to everyone who played, and make sure you come out for the $250,000 Guaranteed Double Stack Turbo that starts tomorrow!
