Silva Wins a Big Pot
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Pablo Brito Silva limped in from under the gun and Itai Levy raised to 160,000 from the cutoff. Abedel Douair tanked for about 2 minutes before folding. Antoine Goutard called in the small blind and so did Silva after about 20 seconds.
They all checked through the 
on the flop to the 
on the turn. Goutard checked and Silva bet 250,000. Levy called and Goutard folded.
The river completed the board with the 
. Silva bet 600,000 and that made Levy dive into the tank. During the 7-8 minute tank, Levy counted out his stack, cut out calling chips, counted his stack out a few times more as they weren't in stacks of 20, and then decided to make the call. Silva flipped over 
for the flopped set of fives.
