Silva Scores Massive Double to Leave Tajiou Short
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Pablo Silva had just lost a couple of pots in a row to no longer be the chip leader when Mounir Tajiou opened 125,000 on the button, and Silva called.
The flop came A♥10♥6♠, and Silva check-raised a bet of 135,000 to 500,000. Tajiou announced all-in, and Silva snap-called his stack of 1,900,000.
Pablo Silva: 10♦6♥
Mounir Tajiou: 9♥4♥
Silva flopped two pair, while Tajiou had a flush draw. The 7♠ turn gave Tajiou a straight draw as well, but the 10♣ river filled Silva to leave Tajiou with just over ten big blinds.
