With the action on Danny Silk on the button, he moved all in for 365,000 as Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii making the call from the small blind.

Silk: {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The window card of the {K-Spades} put Silk in the lead, but when the remainder of the flop filled out {K-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, Leaoasavaii took back the lead.

Once the {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn, Silk was left drawing to just one of the remaining kings or nines in the deck, but when the river landed the {3-Hearts}, Silk was forced to make his way to the rail in 4th place for a $35,506 payday as Leaoasavaii soared to 2,555,000 in chips.
