Silverman Exits
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
At the end of August, Steven Silverman won the inaugural Alpha8 High Roller Tournament in Florida for $891,660. The next day he hopped a plane to Spain in order to play the EPT Barcelona. Unfortunately for Silverman, his hopes of an EPT Main Event title just went out the window.

flop holding the 
, which was well out in front of Dainius Ulke's 
. Silverman was primed to double through the Lithuanian, but then the 
spiked on the turn. Ulke made two pair and Silverman went from a big favorite to drawing to two outs. The 
river wasn't the lady he sought and Silverman's tournament came to an end in the last level of the night.
