Da Silva Joins Seven-Figure Club
Level 8
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chris Da Silva has just joined the seven-figure stack club after taking down a pot just moments ago.
The hand started with Mikalai Nikanovich opening to 20,000 from middle position and Paul Esau called in the cutoff. Da Silva was on the button and squeezed to 75,000, which only Nikanovich called.
The pair watched the 6♥7♠4♥ flop hit the felt and after Nikanovich checked, Da Silva continued with a bet of 55,000. Nikanovich called.
A 9♣ was put out on the turn and again Nikanovich checked, and again Da Silva bet, The size this time was for 155,000 and Nikanovich had to use some extra time while he decided how to proceed. With around 500,000 behind, he eventually decided to fold, and Da Silva's stack grew to a million!
