Emre Saltik opens to 5,500 from early position, and is faced with a three-bet to 16,000 by Ara Melkissian in the next seat. Action folds back to Saltik, who calls.

On the Spade KDiamond 8Club 2 flop, Saltik check-calls versus a bet of 11,000 from Melkissian. 

The Diamond 9 hits on the turn, and Saltik checks once more. Melkissian jams for 36,000, and Saltik, with about 50,000 behind, goes into the tank. Eventually the clock is called and Saltik ultimately disposes of his hand.

Ara Melkissian – 85,000 (34 bb)
Emre Saltik – 50,000 (20 bb)
