Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Upeshka De Silva
Upeshka De Silva

A player in the cutoff opened and action folded to Upeshka De Silva in the small blind, who moved all in for 13,600. The cutoff player, who had the larger stack, mulled over his decision before eventually making the call to put De Silva at risk.

Upeshka de Silva: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Cutoff Player: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

De Silva was behind and would need to alot of help to survive. That help came immediately on the {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, giving De Silva top pair. The {4-Spades} turn and {4-Hearts} river kept De Silva ahead, securing him a double up to just above starting stack.
