Well, not so sure if he's been silenced but he has been eliminated from the tournament. From the big blind Tony committed the last of his 5,200 chips with
and was up against Bill Chen's 
. The 
didn't leave Tony with much hope and when the board ran out 
Tony G was eliminated.
"Miami" John Cernuto raised from under the gun. Billy "The Croc" Argyros called from middle position and the two played the hand heads up.
Cernuto check-called the flop and turn as the board came down
. Both players checked the river and Argyros tabled 
. Cernuto had that beat, though, and he flipped up 
. Both men are about even in chips after the hand with about 53,500.
There will be something different about this year's $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. final table--David Singer won't be there. After reaching the final table the past two years Singer was just eliminated in a three-way pot with Patrick Bueno and Rob Hollink. Hollink's board read
and when he revealed the 
neither Singer nor Bueno could beat his two pair. David Singer was eliminated.
David Oppenheim raised from early position. "Miami" John Cernuto reraised from middle position and Oppenheim called.
The flop came
. Oppenheim check-called Cernuto's bet. The turn fell the 
and Oppenheim check-raised Cernuto, who came along. The river was the and again David check-called. Cernuto showed

flop. Mizrachi bet and Ivey called, and they did the same when the turned. When the 
came on the flop Mizrachi checked and Ivey bet out. Robert called then mucked as Ivey showed . Ivey is up to 128,000 while that pot left Mizrachi with just 51,000.
David Grey was just sent to the rail. He was in good shape through sixth street with a pair of queens, but Andy Bloch rivered a Broadway straight to send him packing. Bloch climbed to just shy of 180,000 chips on the hand.
Tony G was again all in in a three-way pot with Tim Phan and Tom Dwan. Phan and Dwan were contesting a side pot and Phan chased Dwan out before the showdown, and he ended up chopping the pot with Tony when his pair of nines took the high while Tony's 8-6-7-5-2 took the low.
Tony then turned to Ralph Perry and said, "I'm trying, Ralph. I'm trying to go out," as the back-and-forth continued between those two.
With the last of his chips going in as an ante Tony G tripled up when his trip sevens held up. That didn't stop Ralph Perry and Tony continuing their verbal jousting, with Tony pleased that he got to stick around to stick it to Perry for at least a few more minutes. Perry responded in kind and Tony finally said, "Why won't you let it go? I'm the one with just a few chips and you have plenty."
Tony G watched as Joe Bunevith rolled over the 
to go with his exposed 
. Unable to beat Bunevith's flush Tony mucked his hand, and he's down to just 2,000 chips.
