De Silva Sends One Home

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Upeshka De Silva raised to 85,000 from middle position and Chino Rheem called. A player in late position moved all in for 14,500 and it folded back to De Silva who called.

"Have fun, boys," said Rheem as he tossed his hand away and the cards were shown.

Upeshka De Silva: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The dealer spread the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop and the late position player flopped top two pair to take the lead. The turn {3-Hearts} was no help to De Silva but the {q-Hearts} completed the board. De Silva spiked his queen on the river improving to top two pair to score the knockout.
