Sal Busacca

Over on Table 52, Jeff Gross raised to 4,000 from UTG+2 and got a call from UTG+3 before the button pushed all-in for roughly 25,000.

After watching all that unfold, Sal Busacca - who cashed in the Big Stax 300 and final tabled the Big Stax 500 earlier in this series - dropped a big stack of grey 5,000 chips in front of him, announcing all-in. Those who could still cut their losses chose to do so, leaving two players heads up.

Busacca: J♥J♦    Button: Q♣Q♥

Flop: J♠4♣3♠
Turn: 4♦
River: 6♦

Busacca was dominated, but his hot October continued as he tripped up on the flop and was able to fade a bigger set on the turn and river.

Busacca now has close to 200,000 chips, which is more than double the current chip average in the room.
