Brito Silva Wins Very Long Hand Versus Dvoress

Level 16 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Pablo Brito Silva opened the action with a raise to 30,000 and he was called by Daniel Dvoress in the big blind. The duo headed to the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop on which Dvoress check-called a bet of 40,000. On the {a-Spades} turn, the same procedure repeated for 90,000 and the {2-Diamonds} fell on the river.

Dvoress checked again and Brito Silva bet 150,000. That sent the Canadian deep into the tank and he used four time bank extensions before folding.
