Desilva Leaves Sternberg Short
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Upeshka Desilva opened the action with a raise to 1,800, which was called by Miguel Capriles in the hijack. It then folded to Justin Sternberg on the button who three-bet to 6,000. The blinds folded back to Desilva who made the call, and Capriles folded.
After the Q♠Q♣7♠ flop, both players checked to the 9♥ turn. Desilva then bet out 3,800, which Sternberg called.
The river was the J♣ and Desilva bet out 11,500. After using one time bank, Sternberg made the call. Desilva tabled A♥J♥ for two pair, aces and jacks, which was good to take the pot as Sternberg tossed his hand in the muck.
