Roberto Desogos

Jeffrey Silverstein was down to 15,500 after running a flush into quads and was all in from under the gun. Roberto Desogos was also all in for 37,000 from the big blind with the cutoff player having them both covered sitting between them.

Desogos: AsJc
Silverstein: AcJd
Cutoff: TdTc

Desogos and Silverstein were in bad shape with their outs sitting in each other’s hand. The tens were good on the 4s3s3h flop and Qh turn but the four-out Js hit the river. Desogos and Silverstein chopped up the cutoff while sticking around.

“I didn’t even get a double up,” Silverstein said to the table.

Roberto Desogos – 64,000 (40 bb)
Jeffrey Silverstein – 23,000 (14 bb)
