Silver Section News: Everyone is Hitting a Brick Wall

James Wall
James Wall

With seven-hundred players remaining in the field we have some news to report from the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room. The man leading the way is James Wall. We caught him moving up to 55,000 after eliminating an opponent in a pre flop debate. Wall held {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and the player eliminated held {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} on a board of {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}.

Not too far behind Wall is Amnon Filippi on 47,000. Filippi has Melanie Weisner (32,000) and World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Pascal LeFrancois (22,000) on his left shoulder so we can expect some fireworks.

On the elimination front we have lost Bram Cops after he pushed with ace-nine suited and got called three way by pocket eights and king queen. His suited ace did not find a matching partner and he was out. Joining Cops on the bench are Faraz Jaka, David Peters, Gabriel Nassif and Michael Telker.
