On a flop of Heart ASpade 8Club J with roughly 120,000 in the middle, WPTDeepStacks champion Upeshka De Silva checks from the small blind to Charles Kassin (pictured) in the hijack who bets 35,000.

De Silva responds with a check-raise to 105,000 and Kassin calls. The turn is the Club 10 and De Silva checks.

Kassin bets 275,000, and De Silva uses a time extension before calling.

The river is the Diamond A and De Silva checks. Kassin announces he is all in for 750,000 and De Silva goes into the tank.

After using three time extensions, De Silva asks, “What you have bro?”

De Silva uses one more time extension before folding.

As Kassin is collecting the pot, De Silva says he has jack-eight.

“I’m surprised you thought for so long with hand,” Kassin says. “You must have a death wish.”

Charles Kassin – 1,630,000
Upeshka De Silva – 1,365,000
