De Silva Racing Ahead

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Upeshka De Silva bet 135,000 into about 400,000 from the small blind and Wojtek Barzantny called from under the gun on {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}. Both players checked the {5-Diamonds} and the {6-Hearts} and De Silva's {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} took it down.

De Silva is now pushing toward 3 million when most other players are happy to be in seven figures.

Lucky Double for Martinez

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Thomas Cazayous bet 125,000 into about 300,000 out of the big blind on {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}. Raul Martinez, in the cutoff, shoved for 505,000 and Cazayous was in there with a snap-called holding {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for trips.

Martinez had the naked nut flush draw with {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} but pumped his fist when the dealer dropped a {9-Spades} onto the felt.

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Yasheel Doddanavar
Yasheel Doddanavar

We didn't see the action, but it appeared Yasheel Doddanavar got his remaining chips in on {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} with {7-}{5-} for a straight draw against the {a-}{8-} of Angel Guillen. The {j-Diamonds} river was a brick and Doddanavar hit the rail after a short-lived grind with crumbs.

Veerab Zakarian raised to 50,000 from under the gun, and Raul Martinez called in the hijack. Thomas Cazayous three-bet to 200,000 in the small blind, and Zakarian four-bet shoved for 575,000. Martinez folded and Cazayous quickly called.

Veerab Zakarian: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Thomas Cazayous: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Zakarian flopped a gutshot with {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, but improved no further on the {8-Diamonds} turn or {j-Hearts} river to bust.

Sandeep Pulusani Eliminated in 14th Place ($18,352)

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sandeep Pulusani
Sandeep Pulusani

Josh Weiss raised to 50,000 on the button, Upeshka De Silva made it 185,000 in the small blind and Sandeep Pulusani shoved all in after some thought in the big, for 350,000 or so. Weiss quickly folded and De Silva called, tabling {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Pulusani was dominated with {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} meant he needed one of De Silva's jacks, but instead the {10-Spades} arrived to give De Silva a straight. The {2-Clubs} bricked off on the river and Pulusani told everyone "good game" as he headed to payouts.

Barzantny Doubles Through De Silva

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Wojtek Barzantny
Wojtek Barzantny

Upeshka De Silva limped in from the small blind, and Wojtek Barzantny popped it up to 90,000 in the big blind. De Silva jammed to put Barzantny at risk for his last 620,000, and he quickly placed a stack of chips in the middle to call.

Wojtek Barzantny: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Upeshka De Silva: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Barzantny stayed safe on the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, but De Silva picked up a flush draw on the {5-Spades} turn. The {9-Diamonds} river kept Barzantny's Big Slick in front, and he doubled up.

De Silva Takes Round Two of the Battle of the Blinds

Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Upeshka De Silva limped in from the small blind, and Wojtek Barzantny raised to 95,000 in the big blind. Unlike last time, where De Silva ripped it in, he elected to just call.

Both players checked to the river of a {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs} board, where De Silva bombed it for 320,000. Barzantny quickly folded.
