Cruel Cooler Ends Silver's Run

David Salituro

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Henry Chan raised to 250,000 from the hijack and was called by both Nate Silver in the cutoff and big blind Tony Dunst.

The flop came 6♥7♠2♠ and action checked to Silver, who bet 330,000. Dunst folded 5♥5♣, but Chan raised to 1,400,000. Silver then reraised all in for 5,165,000 and Chan snap-called, having Silver barely covered.

Nate Silver: 6♦6♣
Henry Chan: 7♦7♣

The FiveThirtyEight founder and pollster understood the sheer improbability of the cooler he had just run into as Chan showed him a higher set.

Silver shot back in his chair as the board ran out Q♣3♦, sending him to the rail in brutal fashion.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jose Aguilera opened to 250,000 in early position and Zachary Hall called from the next seat before Alec Torelli came along from the big blind.

Torelli and Aguilera checked on the 3♦6♥J♦ flop and Hall bet 175,000. Torelli check-raised to 700,000 and Aguilera folded as Hall called.

Torelli then bet 1,600,000 on the 8♣ turn and Hall took some time before putting out a stack of 500,000-chips to raise Torelli all in. Torelli quickly called with a stack of 4,785,000.

Alec Torelli: 3♥3♠
Zachary Hall: 5♥5♦

"I didn't think you had that," Hall said glumly after seeing Torelli was far ahead with a set.

The 7♣ bricked off on the river to avoid a gross two-outer and Torelli did a lap and clutched his heart after securing the big double-up through the start-of-day chip leader.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Estelle Cohuet, who became the last woman standing in the record-breaking Main Event following the elimination of Nikita Luther, was under the gun in a heads-up pot against Toby Lewis in the hijack.

Cohuet bet 325,000 on the flop of 3♥2♦8♠ and Lewis called. Cohuet then quickly moved all in for around 1,050,000 on the Q♣ turn to send Lewis into the tank. Cohuet covered her face with a scarf as she waited for an action from Lewis, who eventually folded.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Steven Spunt had lost the vast majority of his stack in the previous hand and was in the big blind next. Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi raised from the hijack and Bradley Moskowitz jammed all-in from the cutoff with a shorter stack.

Allen Chang moved in from the small blind while Spunt was in there from the next seat. Ohulchanskyi called all-in to create a four-way all-in on a pay jump with three players at risk.

Steven Spunt: 6♥5♣
Bradley Moskowitz: A♥K♠
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: K♥K♦
Allen Chang: 9♠9♣

The board ran out 5♠3♣2♠7♦Q♠ and Spunt fell in 81st place, while Moskowitz earned the pay jump in 80th place. Ohulchanskyi won the side pots and soared past Chang.

"I was waiting for this hand all day long," Moskowitz said before he and Spunt were escorted to the payout desk.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

One last hand was running on the outer tables and it provided fireworks with a small rail gathering.

Following a raise by Mikael Berrio, Daniel Scroggins three-bet to what appeared to be 1,050,000 out of the small blind, which Berrio called.

The duo headed to the 10♥6♥2♦ flop on which Scroggins continued for 750,000, receiving a call by Berrio.

That brought them to the J♥ turn. Scroggins checked. Berrio bet 1,300,000 with around 2,500,000 behind and Scroggins jammed to see Berrio snap-call.

Mikael Berrio: J♠J♦
Daniel Scroggins: Q♥Q♣

Berrio was ahead with a set of jacks while Scroggins had hearts and the two remaining queens at his disposal.

The river brought the Q♠ and Berrio was shell-shocked for more than two minutes before slowly gathering his belongings. Scroggins jumped to a massive 27 million in chips and headed into the dinner break as the overall chipleader.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Juan Maceiras Lapido raised from the small blind and Jonathan Therme called out of the big blind. A first barrel by the Spaniard followed on the A♦9♥8♣ flop after which Therme called with some 2,800,000 behind.

Maceiras Lapido then splashed in nine of the new one million chips after the 6♦ turn and that sent Therme into the tank.

After several minutes, Adam Walton said "I know it's a big spot but I gonna call clock in a minute" and did so one minute later.

The thirty seconds ran down and Therme called at the last second.

Jonathan Therme: Q♦9♣
Juan Maceiras Lapido: J♦4♦

The 3♦ river improved Maceiras Lapido to a flush and Therme was eliminated.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Richard Ryder opened to 300,000 from under the gun before Alexander Villa three-bet to 900,000 in the hijack. Ryder then came back with a reraise to 2,200,000.

Villa announced he was all in and Ryder went deep in the tank. He asked Villa how much he had behind, but Villa remained motionless staring back at him until Ryder finally called.

Richard Ryder: A♠K♣
Alexander Villa: A♣K♦

"That's what I was hoping you had," Ryder said upon seeing he and Villa shared the same hand and appeared heading for a chop.

"I was trying to get you to fold," Villa replied.

The flop came 8♠K♠2♠ and Ryder suddenly picked up a flush draw. The flush came in on the Q♠ turn as he ran away from the table and loudly clapped his hands together. Villa was already drawing dead heading to the 9♠ river.

The stacks were counted down and Ryder had 8,325,000 remaining. Villa barely had him covered and handed over most of his stack.

Richard Ryder	17,000,000 9,200,000	9,200,000

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 6♣Q♠8♠J♦, Sergio Torres bet 1,500,000 from middle position and Joshua Payne called in the small blind.

The river came the 10♠ and Payne checked over to Torres, who slid forward a tower of purple 100,000 chips for a bet of 2,500,000.

"Ace-ten, queen-ten," Payne muttered to himself as he tanked for a few minutes. He eventually called and Torres shook his head and flashed the 10♣.

Payne turned over A♣J♣ for a pair of jacks as he raked in the massive pot to climb up to 30,000,000.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich got his chips in via preflop flip with A♥K♦ against the 6♠6♦ of Anirban Das, who made a straight on the 7♦5♦3♥4♠4♥ board.

"I will see you there in a minute," John Duthie joked as he was bound to be in the big blind two hands later.

Das then left Clemen Deng on fumes one hand later with queens before Duthie was in the big blind.

Deng called all in from under the gun and Daniel Scroggins raised to 350,000 on the button.

"I don't need to look," Duthie said and called all in as he had paid the big blind ante already.

John Duthie: Q♣3♣
Clemen Deng: J♥4♠
Daniel Scroggins: Q♠J♣

"I am not sure if I should say this, but I folded three-four," Das said.

The board ran out A♣8♠6♠K♥2♥ and Scroggins scored a double knockout for a small pot with queen-jack high.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 4♦9♣3♦, Raj Vohra bet 500,000 from the cutoff and Matthew Wantman raised to 1,400,000 on the button. Vohra then moved all in and Wantman called for his last 3,500,000.

Matthew Wantman: A♠9♠
Raj Vohra: K♦9♥

Both players had top pair, but Wantman was ahead with his ace-kicker. The board ran out 8♦2♣ and Wantman doubled up.
