Massive Pot Pushed to O'Neill

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A big pot just went down at Table 27 involving Josep Maria Galindo and Jack O'Neill.

Unfortunately we arrived to the scene late when there was around 220,000 already in the middle and a board reading . Jack O'Neill had 185,000 out in front of him on the button and Galindo, who was sitting in the hijack, was in the tank.

Minutes passed by as a swarm of media and spectators awaited Galindo's decision, which if he called would cost him all but 40,000 of his chips. Eventually Galindo spiked in a call, and he no doubt regretted it as O'Neill confidently rolled over the for kings full of queens. Galindo mucked.

Silver Finishes Off Brown

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Last level, Max Silver doubled through Jason Brown with aces against Big Slick. The hand left Brown crippled, and as fate would have it Silver would finish the job here in Level 16.

We missed the elimination hand, but Silver explained it was blind on blind. He held pocket kings in the small, Brown had jacks in the big, and long story short it resulted in the latter busting from the tournament.

Max Silver	382,000 22,000	22,000
