Matthew Silberzweig just caught a lucky break in a huge pot. Gennadiy Kostrov raised from the button and Silberzweig came over the top from the big blind after which Kostrov put in some more.
“He was raising from the button the whole time, so when he did it again I went all in,” Silberzweig said as he five-bet all in and Kostrov called creating a pot worth 170,000 chips.
Silberzweig: A
