Silver Seeking Gold

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

He is either running amazingly well or playing superbly, or maybe a mixture of both, but Max Silver is definitely in charge in his match against Terrance Chan. After sending Vanessa Selbst to the rail, Silver has found himself with a mound of chips and is using this to his advantage.

On a board reading {4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades}, Chan was sat with a bet of 10,200 in front of him and Silver had raised to 22,800. A couple of minutes later Chan folded, telling Silver he played the hand strangely. Shortly afterwards on a {5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board, Silver bet 23,800 and Chan made the call.

The river brought the {2-Clubs} into play and after asking Chan how many chips he had, 34,000, Silver moved all in. Chan sat back in his chair and smiled. "I hoped the river was not the {2-Clubs}," he said. A minute later he mucked his hand. Silver is well in control here.
