Silva Makes a "Good Call"
Level 14
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With about 40,000 in the middle, the turn read 9♠7♣2♠J♠ and Pablo Silva checked from the big blind to Alessio La Francesca, who fired 12,000 into the middle from a couple of spots to his left. Silva took a few moments and made the call.
The K♣ completed the board on the river and Silva checked once more. La Francesca pushed 130,000 across the line, enough to put Silva to the test for all of his chips. Silva tanked for about 40 seconds before deciding to call off his 58,000.
"Good call," La Francesca said while tabling A♦Q♠. Silva rolled A♠J♦ for a pair of jacks to earn the pot.
"Never bluff a Brazilian," commented Andre Marques as the dealer shipped the pot.
