Aggressive Anderson

Anderson Silva
Anderson Silva
Anderson Silva has been up around 700,000 for a while now, and has frequently been pushing all in, forcing his opponents to let go of hands.

On a recent flop of Q-9-8 and relatively little in the middle, Silva shoved, prompting J.C. Tran to ask "Why so much?" before folding.

He's not the MMA fighter of the same name, but aggressive nonetheless.

Vu Vanquished

Jesper Hoog raised to 35,000 from under the gun, and it folded back around to Tommy Vu who pushed all in for 112,000 from the big blind. Hoog made the call.

Vu showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, while Hoog had {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The board came {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and Vu was eliminated in 19th place.

Hoog is up to 550,000.
