Steven Silverman Eliminated in 17th Place (€26,300)

Steven Silverman -- 17th Place
Steven Silverman -- 17th Place
Steven Silverman and Gustav Sundell just collided in a massive heads-up showdown that resulted in Silverman's exit from the San Remo Main Event.

The money found its way into the middle before the flop. Sundell opened the pot with a raise to 40,000. Constant Rijkenberg made the call from the button and when the action landed on Silverman, he moved all in over the top for a total of 670,000. Sundell too announced that he was all in, prompting Rijkenberg to fold; the Dutchman told the table he'd folded pocket tens.

Sundell: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Silverman: {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

The dealer then spread the {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {10-Hearts} board and Sundell's kings held up to send Silverman packing. Rijkenberg noted that he would've called Silverman's all-in, had Sundell passed.

The pot -- worth 1,306,000 -- was the biggest of the tournament thus far.
