Silva, Falcon Chop With an Ace
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Pol Silva raised to 120,000 in early position and was called by Michael Falcon in the cutoff and Alvaro Murciano in the big blind.
Action checked around to Falcon on the A♦9♣3♠ flop and he bet 130,000. Murciano called, while Silva then moved all in for 665,000. Falcon called, and Murciano got out of the way.
Pol Silva: A♣10♦
Michael Falcon: A♠10♠
Both players showed down a pair of aces, but the K♦ turn ensured they would chop the pot. The river came the 5♣ and they divided up Murciano's contributions.
