Aug 4, 2017

On a board of Club KClub 2Heart AClub 9Spade 10 with around 55,000 in the middle, Upeshka De Silva checks from the big blind over to AJ Nimer on the button.

Nimer pushes out a stack of chips and announces he is all in for close to 250,000.

De Silva goes deep into the tank pondering his tournament life as he sits with roughly 77,000. Several minutes go by before De Silva apologizes to the table for taking so long.

“Sayonara!” announces De Silva as he slams a stack of chips over the betting line to signify a call.

Nimer tables his Club AClub 3 for the nut flush and De Silva folds.

With that pot, Nimer soars into the chip lead as he currently is nestled behind a chip stack of 370,000.
