Today I have another hand from the $5,000 buy-in six-handed no-limit hold'em event from last summer's World Series of Poker, one involving an interesting preflop situation that arose between myself and Jack Salter.
The blinds were 1,000/2,000 with a 300 ante, and things began with a player in the hijack seat opening for 4,200. Next to act in the cutoff was Salter, a very accomplished pro from London currently with more than $6.6 million in live tournament earnings. With about 180,000 to start, Salter three-bet to 9,200 and it folded to me in the small blind.
