Matt Humphrey opened the button to 185,000, and Upeshka De Silva defended his big blind.

The flop was Ah7d3c. De Silva checked, Humphrey continued for 190,000, and De Silva called. The turn was the Kd, and De Silva check-called another 345,000. The river was the 8d, and De Silva check-called a third shell worth 620,000 from his opponent.

Humphrey showed AcQd for a pair of aces, but De Silva’s Kh8h had run down two pair, kings and eights, to give him the pot.

The two are still one-two on the leaderboard with Humphrey in front, but De Silva just closed the gap significantly with that pot.

Upeshka De Silva – 5,600,000 (70 bb)
Matt Humphrey – 7,450,000 (93 bb)
