We only arrived at the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and Max Silver bet 2,100 from the hijack, the button called and Ankush Mandavia folded from the big blind. On the {3-Hearts} turn, Silver check-raised from 3,000 to 9,600 and his opponent, Phu Ngo, moved all in after approximately 30 seconds.

Silver was struck and went deep into the think tank, considering to "gamble". Ngo didn't call the time on it and Silver was talking to himself and seeking moral advise from Mandavia. "{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} or {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} would be really sick," he said. "One more minute please." Ultimately he grabbed some chips of his 28,000 stack and called all in with slightly less chips than his opponent.

Silver: {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Ngo: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {6-Spades} on the river didn't help Silver as it completed the straight for Ngo and the Brit has been eliminated.

Max SilverMade an awful awful play to put myself in a tough spot I got wrong for 85k pot at 23k average. Oh well. Happens. 10k 6m tomorrow
