Michailidis Doubles Through De Silva

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dimitrios Michailidis moved all in under the gun for a remaining stack around 320,000 and Upeshka De Silva made the call from the big blind.

Holding {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Michailidis was in bad shape for a double up, facing {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} in De Silva's hand, but the {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} run gave him a pair of aces as well as the needed double up.
