Hard to Find a Silver Lining

Nível 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Max Silver has not had a good day so far. He came into today second in chips overall after topping the Day 1B field but won't last much longer if his Day 2 trend continues.

He tried to bluff Bram Haenraets off a hand, failed, and dropped to 28,000. He opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and called after his Dutch opponent three-bet to 6,200 from the small blind. Both players checked the flop before Haenraets led for 5,000 on the turn. Silver called and then bet 9,600 when checked to on the river. Haenraets tanked for a couple of minutes and then called with the style of a man who was afraid he was going to talk himself out of it.

Silver opened for queen high, losing out to Haenraets' .

David Vamplew, a good friend of Silver's, has had a better day at the same table and amassed a 160,000 stack. Meanwhile, on an adjacent table, Sam Chartier's stack has risen to 280,000.
