Sal Busacca (Colts Neck, NJ)

Sal Busacca (Colts Neck, NJ) has had a solid series up to this point, cashing in the Big Stax 300 (82nd Place - $894), and final tabling the Big Stax 500 (9th Place - $5,766).  He is already off to a good start this afternoon, thanks in part to a hand moments ago with Kevin Grabel.

The action was approached on the flop, as Grabel sat with his entire stack across the line, waiting for Busacca's action.  The board would read 8♥ 9♦ 4♥, and Sal was in the tank for close to two minutes.  He eventually put together his stacks of chips and pushed them across the betting line:

Grabel: J♥ 10♥ (combo draw)
Busacca: J♦ J♣

Turn: 3♦
River: 5♣

Sal faded all of Kevin's outs, and he would double to over 75,000 with the pot. Grabel was left very short after losing the hand, and has since busted his first bullet.
