Joining the action on the three-way flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}, Upeshka de Silva checked out of the small blind as did the big blind. Emile Schiff bet 3,400 on the button and de Silva check-raised to 9,200. The big blind folded and Schiff called. After the {K-Diamonds} turn, de Silva bet 23,400 and that did the trick to win the pot uncontested.

One hand later, a short stack shoved for 37,000 and Schiff asked for a count before tossing in a single chip for the call. All other players folded and the player at risk showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. Schiff had {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and flopped a set to leave his opponent drawing dead on a turn of the board {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

Soon after, Natasha Mercier raised to 4,000 and Schiff three-bet to 15,300. Mercier moved all in and Schiff quickly folded.

One table over is another de Silva, Sampath that is, who holds a big stack.
