Harry Silver

A player in middle position opened to 3,400, a player in late position called, and Harry Silver went all in for 28,000 from the small blind. The original raiser folded and late position called with 4d4c. It was a race as Silver turned over KhQs.

The board came Jh10h8hKd5c giving Silver the winning pair of kings securing his double up.  He goes “I was going all in after that flop anyways, I didn’t want you to call”.

Harry Silver  –  42,000

Level 7: 200/400 with a 50 ante
Total Entries: 175

Wally Maddah

There was an open from the button and Nash Antonious moved all in for his last 1,225 from the small blind. Tommy Bates moved all in over the top from the big blind for 10,875. The button released and the cards were tabled.

Antonious: AhQh
Bates: Ks8s

“That’s a good price for that hand,” Bates joked as he restacked his rebate.

Antonious hit the Qc9d5h flop then faded the 5c turn and 7d river for his small double.

Meanwhile, on the other table, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa poker ambassador opened the action with AxQx, earned a call from the big blind, and got all his chips in the middle after the QxJx6x flop. His top/top was no good against the big blind special Jx6x and Maddah’s ten-minute Seniors Event run was over.

Event 4: Francis Margaglione Leads After Break

Level 5: 50/100
Total Entries: 157

Francis Margaglione

Seniors Event players took the first break of the day as noon hit with 154 entries in the game. The field has a little work to do to catch the 190 entries from last year but they are giving it their best.

Three-time SHRP champ Francis Margaglione is the early leader after nearly quintupling his starting stack to 49,500. He has a nice little streak going at the moment with a SHRPO trophy in each of the last to series.
