De Silva Barrels the Turn

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

With the flop reading {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, Upeshka De Silva was in a heads-up pot against Bart Hanson, who checked from the small blind.

De Silva bet out 1,250, and Hanson agreed with the price.

Hanson checked the {7-Hearts} turn as well, but De Silva stood firmly on the pedal. He fired another 2,500, and that was enough to finally force Hanson out of the pot.
