Silber Eliminates Khachatryan as Heater Continues
Levon Khachatryan was in the small blind and checked a flop, which Pakinai Lisawad also did from the big blind. Shawn Silber, who has been on a bit of a heater as of late, took the opportunity to bet 21,000 from middle position. Khachatryan then woke up with a pot-sized check-raise to 101,000 and then called off his last 10,000 after Lisawad folded and Silber repotted.
Khachatryan:
Silber:
Silber had flopped top set, which was up against Khachatryan's double gutshot straight and flush draws. There were a ton of cards that could influence the hand one way or the other, but the turn wasn't one of them. It was down to the river for Khachatryan, who would come up short when the blanked on the river.
Khachatryan was eliminated in 21st place for $8,435.
