Silvestri's Big Bet on the River Gets the Job Done
Just before the level went up, we caught a hand involving Mario Silvestri. We picked up the action on the turn with approximately 5,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. A player in middle position checked and Silvestri took the opportunity to bet 3,500. His opponent called and then promptly checked the 
on the river.
Silvestri asked for a count of his opponent's stack and then took his time before betting 8,000, which proved enough to take down the pot as the middle-position player rapped the table and sent his hand to the dealer.
