Max Silver Defeats Don Nguyen

Level 18 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Max Silver got all in for his last 38,300 preflop against Don Nguyen.

Nguyen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Silver: {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Unfortunately for Nguyen, his dominating hand fell way behind on the {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. An {8-Diamonds} and {6-Clubs} didn't bring any justice, and Silver doubled up.

A few hands later, Nguyen raised from the button and called the shove of Silver.

Nguyen: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Silver: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Silver got lucky on the flop once again: {10-}{8-}{6-}. Two bricks rolled out for Silver, and last year's runner-up is done after one match.

Connor Drinan vs. Phil Galfond

Level 17 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{J-Spades}, Phil Galfond bet 10,200. Connor Drinan called to see the {K-Spades} river which both checked.

Galfond tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Drinan acknowledged he also had tens, but upon seeing the {10-Clubs} in Galfond's hand Drinan tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}, having originally thought he held the {10-Clubs}.
