Silver Section Review: Filippi Dominating

Amnon Filippi dominating
Amnon Filippi dominating

The trio of Amnon Filippi, Melanie Weisner and Pascal LeFrancois have been split up with the only remaining player in his original seat being the World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner LeFrancois. Weisner has been eliminated after losing a string of pots culminating in a negative flip - {A-} {K-} v {Q-} {Q-}. Filippo is not out though, instead he has been moved, and he needed a wheelbarrow to help him with his chips - 175,000 at the last count! He must have been running well on his new table because he just showed down pocket queens after forcing to Kevin Elia to lay down a hand prompting a player to shout, "man how can you run so hot?"

A whole host of other notable names have bitten the dust along with Weisner. Padraig Parkinson has been eliminated after running {K-} {K-} into {A-} {7-} of all hands. An ace on the river sending the Irishman out of the Brasilia Room. Mohsin Charania has been eliminated after running {A-} {10-} into {Q-} {Q-} pre flop, and we have also lost David Williams, Florian Langman and Pierre Neuville.

Joining Filippi at the top end of the charts are WSOP bracelet holder Mikhail Lakhitov (105,000), Kevin Elia (77,000), Jude Ainsworth (74,000), Julian Parmann (70,000) & Stanislaw Kretz (63,000).

There are 333 players left with fifteen minutes remaining of Level 10. The average stack is now 26,568.
