Huge Cooler Rockets Dasilva Ahead

Dan Dasilva started the day with a modest 16,175 in chips and I'm sure he didn't rock up today thinking that he'd be amongst the chip leaders in the first thirty minutes of play. But that's exactly what has happened after one of the more remarkable hands we've seen in some time.

It was a four-way all in that saw Dasilva grab the chips, and the cards, well, you could say it was a bit of a cooler.

Dasilva: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Unlucky #1: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Unlucky #2: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Unlucky #3: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Fortunately for Dasilva, nobody had jacks as the board was spread {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} and his aces hold up! After a quick calculation on our trusty abacus, we've worked out that Dasilva was actually only a 54% favorite to win that hand! He rockets up to 62,000 chips.
