Silver Section: Gulyy Still Leads; Aguiar & Brammer Bust

Andrey Gulyy is still leading the Silver Section

With 801 players left from our starting field of 1,607, here is an update from the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room.

The Welsh wizard Roberto Romanello has moved into Table #21 and has 11,600 chips. Romanello came very close to achieving the Triple Crown (European Poker Tour, World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker titles) when he finished in 7th place in Event #36: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. Romanello looks focussed, serious and his A game look about him.

Last time we trounced around the Silver Section, Andrey Gulyy was the chip leader. He still holds that title despite losing a decent size pot to Justin Young. But Gulyy has some smart company now that Chris Moorman has moved to his table. Moorman sits on 26,000 whilst Gulyy sits on 45,500.

Those Internet whizz kids, we wrote about, are dropping like flies. Gabriel Nassif and Kyle Weir bit the dust early and we have also lost Jack Ellwood and Chris Brammer. Brammer just moved all-in on a board of {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, and after the clock was called, Kharim Lehoussine made the call and it was good. Lehoussine tabling {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} to beat the bluff from Brammer holding {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Lehoussine moved up to 41,000 with victory in that hand.

Another casualty in the Silver Section is Jon Aguiar. Hiren 'Sunny' Patel took the large majority of Aguiar's chips just prior to his elimination. Patel raised to 450, Aguiar three-bet to 1,175, Patel four-bet to 2,650 and Aguiar called. The flop was {6-} {5-} {4-} (rainbow), Patel bet 1,625 and Aguiar made the call. The turn was the {K-Clubs} (putting two clubs on board), Patel checked, Aguiar moved all-in for around 10,000 and Patel called.

Patel{J-} {J-}
Aguiar{9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

So Patel was ahead, the draws didn't materialise and that loss put Aguiar on 1,500 chips. They went into the middle holding {K-} {9-} (suited) and ran into {5-} {5-} resulting in his elimination.
