De Silva and Nguyen Battle

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Scotty Nguyen

Upeshka De Silva and Scotty Nguyen found themselves battling over the same pot but only one could come out on top. With the board reading {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and around 11,000 in the pot, De Silva led out for 1,500 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Nguyen raised to 4,000. The button folded and the action was back on De Silva who made the call.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and De Silva moved all in, putting Nguyen and his 20,000 chip stack at risk. After looking annoyed, Nguyen ended up folding his hand and knuckling the table as De Silva pulled the chips closer to him. "You got me this time," Nguyen said to his opponent.

De Silva - 1, Nguyen - 0
