De Silva Scores the Knockout
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A middle-position player opened to 2,400 before Upeshka De Silva three-bet from the cutoff to 7,200.
The player in the small blind thought that wasn't enough, and he moved in for 32,600. Action folded back to De Silva who made the call after thinking for about a minute. He had the small blind well covered.
Small Blind: 
Upeshka De Silva: 
"I folded the same hand," said the original opener, referring to the king-jack.
The flop came out 
to give the small blind top pair, but Se Silva had plenty of outs. One of those outs came in when the 
turn hit, putting De Silva well in the lead. The 
river kept him there and De Silva added to his stack.
