Max Silver Eliminated in 10th Place ($75,080)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Max Silver

Max Silver put in 160,000 from the small blind, leaving about 35,000 back. Markus Durnegger immediately announced all in and Silver took his 30 seconds, watching to see if anyone busted from the other table.

"I'm gonna need to improve," he declared.

Finally, he put his chips in and tossed {q-Spades}{7-Hearts} in the middle, and he was correct that he needed improvement as Durnegger held {q-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop had Silver calling "gee gee" and indeed he was dead on the {9-Clubs} turn.

Kelvin Kerber was all in from the button for 230,000 and Sam Greenwood had him at risk from the big blind with {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Kerber was a favorite with {a-Spades}{10-Spades}, but a six on the turn had him sliding out of his seat and wishing everyone good luck with a sigh.

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a handful of blinds, Nick Petrangelo defended big blind and then shoved on a {k-}{k-}{7-} flop with {7-}{5-}, but Gianluca Speranza had him in awful shape with {8-}{8-}. The turn and river didn't help Petrangelo and he's first to hit the rail on Day 3.

A Champion Will Be Crowned in the $25,000 PCA High Roller

PCA Trophy
PCA Trophy

Heading into the final day of the 2019 PCA at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, there is still plenty of dollar signs up for grabs in the $25,000 PCA High Roller. Just 12 players remain in the fight for the title and the winner will be walking away with nearly $900,000.

Thomas Muehloecker leads the field with 1,420,000 chips and is closely followed by his countryman Markus Durnegger with 1,385,000. The two players stole the show in the latter stages of Day 2 while sharing the same table, pulling away from the rest of the field. Muehloecker has been around the high roller circuit for many years now and has an impressive resume to show why, whereas Durnegger is trying to prove that he belongs with the big guys.

The field was littered with notable players to make up one of the strongest high rollers, so it is no wonder that many familiar faces still remain on Day 3. Sam Greenwood (880,000), Nick Petrangelo (530,000), Dominik Nitsche (475,000), Sean Winter (390,000), and Davidi Kitai (215,000) will all have their sights set on the first-place prize of $895,110. For those that bow out early, they will be guaranteed at least $65,440 which is nothing to shake a stick at.

The action will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time and will continue until a winner is crowned. The blinds will resume on level 21 at 10,000/20,000 with a 20,000 big blind ante and will continue to be 60 minutes in length. That is until the final three players are reached and the blinds levels are reduced to 30 minutes.
