2008 World Series of Poker
Event 49 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em
Day: 2
Pelton Takes One
The flop came . Tran checked, and Pelton quietly pushed out 12 green chips -- a bet of 300,000. Tran thought for about a minute, then folded. Pelton has 1.1 million.
I say "quietly" because the ten players are rarely saying a word, letting the chips do the talking instead. Meanwhile, the 40 or so railbirds continue to chat away, creating a cacophony of sound here in the front corner of the Brasilia.
Level: 22
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 4,000
Still Hardly Any Action
Anderson Silva Eliminated in 10th Place ($36,729)
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
Nielsen
Aces versus kings. Usually a pretty reliable formula for bursting a final table bubble.
The flop came , and Nielsen's lead became even more commanding. The came on the turn. And the 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.
That's a Wrap!
