flop. O'Dwyer checked, Silver placed three black 5,000 chips past the betting line and O'Dwyer wasted little time in calling. The

turn before Silver checked the river to face the all-in worth 121,000. He tank-folded to drop to 290,000.
We just reported that Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was getting no action, now he has been getting too much.
