There is a rumor that the Phil Ivey is multi-tabling again. We know he is in the $50,000 Players Championship, but we believe he has been spotted playing a few hands in this event during his break. We will keep our eyes peeled.
With 801 players left from our starting field of 1,607, here is an update from the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room.
The Welsh wizard Roberto Romanello has moved into Table #21 and has 11,600 chips. Romanello came very close to achieving the Triple Crown (European Poker Tour, World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker titles) when he finished in 7th place in Event #36: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. Romanello looks focussed, serious and his A game look about him.
Last time we trounced around the Silver Section, Andrey Gulyy was the chip leader. He still holds that title despite losing a decent size pot to Justin Young. But Gulyy has some smart company now that Chris Moorman has moved to his table. Moorman sits on 26,000 whilst Gulyy sits on 45,500.
Those Internet whizz kids, we wrote about, are dropping like flies. Gabriel Nassif and Kyle Weir bit the dust early and we have also lost Jack Ellwood and Chris Brammer. Brammer just moved all-in on a board of 
, and after the clock was called, Kharim Lehoussine made the call and it was good. Lehoussine tabling 
to beat the bluff from Brammer holding 
. Lehoussine moved up to 41,000 with victory in that hand.
Another casualty in the Silver Section is Jon Aguiar. Hiren 'Sunny' Patel took the large majority of Aguiar's chips just prior to his elimination. Patel raised to 450, Aguiar three-bet to 1,175, Patel four-bet to 2,650 and Aguiar called. The flop was 
(rainbow), Patel bet 1,625 and Aguiar made the call. The turn was the 
(putting two clubs on board), Patel checked, Aguiar moved all-in for around 10,000 and Patel called.
| Patel |  |
| Aguiar |   |
So Patel was ahead, the draws didn't materialise and that loss put Aguiar on 1,500 chips. They went into the middle holding 
(suited) and ran into resulting in his elimination.

The board read 
and Dennis Phillips was first to act, he opted to check. Phillip's opponent bet out 1,500 and after a few moments Phillips made the call.
The on the river found Phillips checking again and his opponent betting, this time 2,100. Phillips then went deep into the tank, contemplating his best options. After about two minutes had passed Phillips made the call and was shown by his opponent for a pair of aces with a ten kicker. Phillips flipped over the 
and mucked his cards.
The next table over also had a pot growing. The flop read 
and James Akkenhead opted to bet 1,475 after his opponent in early position had checked to him. A call was made and we were off to the turn.
The 
on the turn saw checks from both players.
The 
on the river seemingly awoke the early position player who fired out 4,475. Akkenhead measured out the right amount of chips fairly quickly and placed the call in the middle of the felt. Akkenhead's opponent flipped over for ace high, and Akkenhead mucked his hole cards.

Toby Lewis may look like a quiet public schoolboy (it's the hair Lewis) but the lad can play poker. Not only is he one of the best online players in the world (where he plays under the moniker 810ofclubs) but he has also won over $1.4 million on the live circuit including a European Poker Tour (EPT) title. Add some seriously good backing scores, this year, and Lewis is in fine fettle. He has just moved to Table #5 in the Gold Section and Ryan D'Angelo has just sent him a gentle nudge to let him know that it is he who is king of that table.
We joined the action on a flop of 
in a three-bet pot with Lewis holding position on D'Angelo. The first flop bet went the way of Lewis and it was for 1,850; D'Angelo check-calling. The turn 
was checked through before D'Angelo fired 2,400 at the 
river. Lewis spun the ring on his right ring finger, thought for a moment and then mucked.

Simple hand really. Gregory Lee is all in with pocket nines and Toby Lewis is his fight club partner with pocket queens. No nine on the board, Lee is out and Lewis is up to 22,200.

The players are on a ninety-minute dinner break
Level: 7
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
Mike Leah started out a recent hand by raising it up and finding callers from both the blinds preflop.
The flop came 
and both the blinds checked. Leah was next took act and fired out a bet of 1,200. Only the small blind was willing to pay the price to see the turn. The 
on fourth street saw both players being cautious of one another with two checks.
The on the river brought with it a 3,025 bet from the small blind. Leah took his time eyeballing the pot and measuring out his own chips for depositing a call. Eventually Leah did indeed make the call and the small blind quickly mucked his cards.
Once Leah was assured that he was awarded the pot he flipped over 
for a simple ace high.

Phil Ivey has just jumped into his seat during a lull in Event #45: $50,000 Poker Players Championship and it must have ben a hot one, because he has jumped right back out of it again. Jonas Wexler was the man who sent Phil Ivey packing in a three way all-in. Wexler held , Ivey (who had moved all-in over the Wexler raise) held 
and the third person in the hand (who was also all-in) held . Wexler eliminated both opponents and moved up to 27,000 chips. Ivey can now put his full attention back onto the $50,000 Players Championship.

Annie Duke is in the field nursing a short stack sharing a few insights with her table and Dennis Phillips. Melanie Weisner is also in the same boat sitting with around 4,000 over in the bronze section. Randy Lew is also in the Bronze section, but seems to be moving in the other direction. With over 20,000 Lew continues to gather chips and put himself in great position.
We don't know exactly how the action went, but we do know after a series of raises Diego Brunelli was all in and at risk preflop.
Brunelli: 
Opponent:
The board came 
and Brunelli was eliminated when his pair of tens couldn't find any help.
