Anderson Silva Eliminated in 10th Place ($36,729)

Anderson Silva - 10th Place
Anderson Silva - 10th Place
On the previous hand, Anderson Silva had limped from early position, then folded to a J.C. Tran raise behind. Silva then limped in again, and John Conroy, who hadn't been playing many pots, raised to 75,000.

It folded around to Rasmus Nielsen who looked back and forth between Conroy and Silva, then asked how much each had behind. Silva had about 520,000, and Conroy about 600,000. Nielsen -- having both covered three times over -- then announced he was all in.

Silva called, and Conroy folded, showing pocket tens as he did.

Silva {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Nielsen {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

Aces versus kings. Usually a pretty reliable formula for bursting a final table bubble.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, and Nielsen's lead became even more commanding. The {9-Diamonds} came on the turn. And the {A-Spades} on the river sealed it. Silva is out in 10th place. Nielsen enters tomorrow's final table the commanding chip leader with approximately 2.6 million.
