In preflop action, Augusto Silva opened with a raise to 1,500. Celina Lin made the call in next position before Alexander Ratke shoved in for 9,500 chips. Silva called the 9,500, but when struck back in his chair when Lin reraised all in after first flat-calling the 1,500. She was all in for a total of 25,000.

Silva tanked and tanked, but eventually folded his hand: {Q-?}{Q-?}. Lin turned over the {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}, justifying Silva's fold. Even she was beat though when Ratke rolled over {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}.

Things just got worse for Silva in the hand when the flop came down {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts}. He would have held top set and then won the massive pot when the turn and river came the {8-Clubs}, {J-Spades}. It was Lin's shove and Silva's fold that enabled Ratke's aces to hold up. He tripled up in the hand and now has just under 30,000 chips. Lin dropped to 16,000.
