Evan Silverstein Almost Advances, Then Advances

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

On the first hand Silverstein and Sammartino got their money in with the board reading {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Silverstein was holding {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} against Sammartino's {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The river though wasn't one of Sammartino's outs, it was the {7-Clubs} giving Silverstein quads.

"That's it, I've got him covered," Silverstein said after the hand.

But Silverstein was wrong, After the hand the dealer counted the chips and Sammartino had more chips, but only by 2,000.

Sammartino was able to double once, but his {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} wasn't able to catch up to Silverstein's {10-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a second double.

Silverstein will return will the rest of the table winners tomorrow at the final table.
