Ashkari Barely Has Too Much For Da Silva
Level 11
: Blinds 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
Helder da Silva raised to 5,000 in middle position and Michael Ashkari moved all in for 56,000 in the cutoff. The button also put in his last 25,000 as action went back on Da Silva. He spent a minute talking with Ashkari and considering the decision, but he eventually folded.
All-In Player: A♠10♦ 
Michael Ashkari: A♦Q♥
Ashkari hit top pair on the Q♣6♦3♣ flop, while the rest of the board ran out 7♦3♥ and Ashkari scored the knockout.
"What did you have?" tablemate Axat Mawji asked Da Silva.
"Two fives. I told him if he had 55,000 I would call," Da Silva replied.
