Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Nate Silver raised to 160,000 in middle position and Tony Dunst called from the button. Nikita Luther then shoved all in from the big blind, Silver called for his last 2,335,000, and Dunst folded 7♦7♣.
Nate Silver: A♠K♣
Nikita Luther: 10♥10♣
"Gotta win some flips," Silver said heading to the K♥8♥3♣ flop, which gave him top pair and the lead. The board ran out 9♦6♦ and the FiveThirtyEight founder doubled up while leaving Luther as a short stack.
