The Sorrowful Silver Bunch

Antonio Esfandiari has disappeared
Antonio Esfandiari has disappeared

There are a host of notable names missing from the Silver Section. Olivier Busquets, Vitaly Lunkin, John Eames, Dominik Nitsche and Gabriel Nassif are all missing and presumed bust.

In other eliminations, Kyle Weir moved his last few chips into the middle with pocket sevens and ran into pocket queens, Nicolas Yunis lost a chunk of his stack in a hand against Ivan Mamuzic. Yunis was holding {K-} {K-} versus the {A-} {7-} of Mamuzic and a cruel ace hit the flop sending Yunis down to 1,300 chips. Then Yunis put those little babies into the middle with {K-} {10-}, ran into {A-} {K-} and never saw them again.

Antonio Esfandiari is also out of Event #46 after moving all in on a monotone diamond board holding {A-Diamonds} {J-} and finding himself behind to a set and a king-high flush. We don't care how many magic tricks he has, he just ain't getting out of that one! (Thanks to Paul Y for the info)

One person who did not join the elimination station was Ryan Julius. He raised to 400 on the button, the small blind three-bet to 1,100, Julius moved all-in for 2,050 more and his opponent called.

Julius{Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Small Blind{A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Board: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {2-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}

A full-house for Julius and he moved up to 6,450.

The top dog in the Silver Section is the Russian Andrey Gulyy who has 47,000 chips.
