Recife Gets There

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Although Silveira Recife had just 22,000 left when it was folded to him on the button, he had both the small blind and big blind covered. He moved all in and the big blind, Erik Torgersen, called with about 11,000 behind.

Recife: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Torgersen: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} which gave Recife a lead in the hand but he still wasn't a huge favorite. Recife needed to dodge a heart and an ace to eliminate Torgersen. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river was the {J-Clubs}. Recife has chipped up to 36,000 while adding a notch on his belt.
