Pwnasaurus Getting Back to Even

You may know Mario Silvestri as by his online aliases, "Pwnasaurus" and "Deuce2High", and by the fact that he was a member of the well-known Ship It Holla Ballas, a group of young up-and-coming poker players back in 2006. Silvestri, who hails from Texas, is in today's field.

In a recent hand, a player limped in middle position and inspired the small blind to do the same. Silvestri then raised to 600 from the big, only the middle-position limper called, and the flop fell {4-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Silvestri continued for 700, and it was enough to get the job done as his opponent sent his cards to the muck.

It wasn't much of a hand, but with that win Silvestri is just about back to the starting stack.
