Jukich Doubles Through Silberstein; Takes Chip Lead

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mike Jukich raised to 80,000 from the button and Ken Silberstein three-bet to 190,000 from the small blind. Rex Clinkscales folded his big blind and the flop brought {5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Silberstein continued out for 230,000 and Jukich flat called. The {a-Spades} turned and the action went check-check. Fifth street saw the {7-Spades} fall and Silberstein bet 275,000. Jukich moved all in over the top for 1.215 million and Silberstein went into the tank.

Roughly ninety seconds passed while Silberstein pondered his action. Suddenly he sprayed chips into the middle, signifying a call.

"I have an eight," said Jukich.

"Eight's good," lamented Silberstein.

Jukich showed {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trip eights. Silberstein's cards were tabled to reveal he called with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

Jukich has now assumed the chip lead with 3.27 million in chips while Silberstein, the man who once had 73% of the chips in play, is now sitting on 1.98 million.

Action folded to Mike Jukich's small blind. He shipped all in for 925,000 and Silberstein surprised the room when he picked up his cards, looked at them, and announced a call.

Jukich: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Silberstein: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Jukich jumped into the lead by pairing up on the {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop. Suddenly Silberstein needed to catch in order to send Jukich to the rail. He did not on the {A-Hearts} turn or the {9-Clubs} river, ensuring that Jukich would double to about 1.85 million.

Silberstein Picks Off Clinkscales' Bluff

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Rex Clinkscales popped it up with a raise from the button. Ken Silberstein flat called out of the big blind.

The flop was {3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Silberstein check-called 90,000. The {6-Clubs} turned and both players checked to see the {Q-Diamonds} hit the river. Silberstein casually flung out 50,000 and Clinkscales decided to make it 230,000 to go.

"Call," announced Silberstein with little hesitation.

Clinkscales showed {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for merely ten-high. Silberstein rolled over {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a pair of aces and the best hand.
