Maliqi Puts a Dagger in Brito Silva's Stack
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sonny Franco opened to 11,000 in middle position and was called by Bleron Maliqi on the button and Pablo Brito Silva in the big blind. The flop came 
and the action checked around to the 
on the turn.
Brito Silva led out with a bet of 25,000 which got Franco to fold but Maliqi called. The 
peeled off on the river and Brito Silva reached back for a bet of 125,000. Maliqi eyed up the stacks and then shoved all in for 311,000. Brito Silva reluctantly called and saw the bad news.
Maliqi rolled over 
for the nut straight while Brito Silva was left with 
for the second-nut straight and just 36,000 after the hand.
