Silverman Sent Down the Hill
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Play was already three-handed with two players all in. Stephen Silverman was under the gun and at risk with around 100,000 remaining and Thomas Hill was all in from middle position for around 153,000. Lukas Misteli was in late position and covered both players stacks.
Stephen Silverman: A♠J♠
Thomas Hill: A♥Q♥
Lukas Misteli: K♥K♦
Hill flopped well on the Q♦6♥7♥ board, and the Q♠ turn only improved him further.
Hill saw the near triple up after the 10♣ river was placed, and Misteli took the side pot, leaving Silverman eliminated from the tournament.
