Upeshka De Silva has been eliminated in 5th place from the Main Event in the WPT Montreal Festival. After losing a big hand to Ema in the previous level, Upeshka had only chipped back up a little bit before his final hand arrived. He was playing 3.7M on the button when the short-stacked Kauvsegan raised to 300K from the cutoff. Pesh looked at his hole cards and moved all in.
Next to act was Sorel Mizzi, who asked for a count. With the info in hand, he raised all in over, Kauvsesgan folded and the hands were revealed.
