I can see into your soul...

Garrett Beckman limped in for 10,000 from UTG, Allen Carter raised to 35,000 from early position, Reagan Silber reraised to 105,000 from middle position, Alexander Kostritsyn made it 285,000 to go from the small blind, Beckman folded, and Carter moved all in for 311,000, sending Silber into the tank. After a bit of thought, Silber moved all in over the top, having Kostritsyn covered.

Now it was Kostritsyn's turn to tank. The young Russian ultimately mucked {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

face-up, saving his remaining 930,000. And the cards were turned on their backs...

Carter {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

Silber

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

and Silber's aces held up to eliminate Carter. Silber is now up to 1,815,000.
