Internet Wizards Cast a Spell on the Silver Section

It seems as though the Internet whizz kids have all decided to ply their trade in the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room today. Michael 'muchenHB' Telker, Chris 'NigDawG' Brammer, Kyle 'First-Eagle' Weir and the highly thought out name of Jack 'jackellwood' Ellwood just a few of the names of youngsters who have bled the Internet banks dry.

So those are the wizards, but we also have a magician. Antonio Esfandiari has had a great World Series with 5 cashes which includes a 3rd place finish in Event #36: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout and he is doing some wheeler dealing on his phone in the Silver Section.

Here are two hands that we picked up during our little trip and they involve one of those Internet wizards Chris Brammer and Hirel 'Sunny' Patel.

There was an early position limper before Brammer raised to 225 in the cutoff. Seth Fischer called on the button and the original limper made it a threesome. The flop was {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and it was left to Brammer to c-bet for 350 and only Fischer called. The turn {7-Hearts} was checked through before a 500 bet by Fischer picked up the pot on the {8-Clubs} turn.

Nicolas Yunis raised to 200 in early position, Ivan Mamuzic three-bet to 425 in mid-position, Hiren Patel four-bet to 750 from the hijack, Mamuzic five-bet to 1,825 and Patel folded.
