Ashkari Barely Has Too Much For Da Silva

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♦ All in
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.

Sean Neely and Mauro Panto saw a flop of 5♥6♠K♥ as they got all their chips in the middle, Panto in middle position and Neely in the hijack.

Mauro Panto: Q♥10♥ All in
Sean Neely: A♥A♦

Neely showed down a pair of aces, but Panto had a flush draw as the 7♥ fell on the turn to give him his flush. The river, though, was the 2♥ and Neely improved to a bigger flush and let out a loud shout that drew the attention of several players at nearby tables.

The stacks were counted down and Neely had Panto's remaining 90,000 covered, sending him to the rail.
