Silver Back in Action
Level 7
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
FiveThirtyEight founder and editor-in-chief Nate Silver came close to winning his first WSOP bracelet last night, finishing runner-up to John Monnette in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship, and is back today in position to make another deep run.
In his last hand, Silver called a bet of 30,000 on the turn with the board showing 
. Both Silver and his opponent checked the 
river, and Silver turned over 
for a pair of aces that were good enough to take the pot.
