Catching up on the river, an board was on the felt between Al DeCarolis and Rick Salomon. DeCarolis checked and called off his last $290,000 or so. DeCarolis showed
but that wasn't near enough to beat Salomon's
, and Salomon collected a pot of more than $800,000, pushing his stack into seven figures, while DeCarolis headed for the hills.
Expect Salomon to get even more loose and aggressive, if that's possible, now that he has a huge stack.
