I Dare You, I Double Dare You

Back over on the feature table, the action folded around to Mario Silvestri who raised to 60,000 from the button before the flop. Christian Harder folded his small blind, then Phil Collins shoved over the top from the big blind holding {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Silvestri committed the rest of his stack into the middle, electing to flip for his tournament life with {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. As it turned out, it worked - the board was spread {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Hearts} - and Silvestri doubled up to more than 1.6 million. Collins shrugged it off - after all, he's still got nine million and change.
