Silva Crushing the Bubble
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a board of 7♦6♠5♣9♦, 65,000 chips were in the middle in a pot between Juan Pardo and Pablo Silva. Pardo checked to Silva, who put forth a bet of 24,000. Pardo made the call and the Q♥ river rolled off.
Both players now quickly checked and Pardo showed down K♣7♣ for a pair of sevens, but he was beaten by A♠9♥ of Silva, who played a pair of nines.
Silva has more than doubled his stack since the bubble began, and is playing more than one million chips.
