Silva Scores Knockout
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player from early position limped before a player from middle position chose to jam for 22,400. Mercedes Silva made the call on the button before the limper folded to put the early position opponent at risk.
Opponent: A♦K♥
Mercedes Silva: J♠J♣
Silva was favored, but the flop changed that in a hurry when it fanned out K♦6♠3♠ to give her opponent a pair of kings.
Just as quickly as her opponent gained the lead, it was taken away when the J♥ turn peeled to give Silva a set of jacks.
The A♥ was inconsequential as Silva won the all-in clash.
