Kurlenskas Shoves the River
Level 31
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Mindaugas Kurlenskas opened to 500,000 in position with A♦3♥ and Chris Da-Silva defended his big blind holding J♥10♣.
Both players checked the 10♦3♠2♠ flop before Kurlenskas found trips on the 3♦ turn. Da-Silva led out for 450,000 and Kurlenskas made the call.
Da-Silva fired again for 775,000 on the A♠ river, while Kurlenskas took a moment before moving all in for 4,400,000 with his full house.
Da-Silva gave it some thought but slid his cards into the much, as Kurlenskas cut into the lead.
