Silverman Finds Massive Double with Rags

[user75032]

In a hand that extended well into the last break, Steven Silverman turned rags into riches. He played a raised preflop pot out of the big blind against Robert Flink. Silverman check-called 30,000 from Flink on a flop of {5-Diamonds}

, check-called another 80,000 when the turn fell {K-Diamonds}

, and then checked one last time when the river fell {2-Clubs}

. Flink moved all in, prompting Silverman to snap-call all in for 112,000 and open his hand: {3-Spades}

. Silverman flopped the second nut straight and then check-called all the way to double up to more than 500,000 chips. Flink went to break disgusted; he may not realize that he still has roughly 20,000 chips.
