HES SO BAD/LUCKY!

5.15pm: Steven Silverman, PokerStars qualifier from United States, is eliminated in third place, earning $106,167Oh. My. God. Steven Silverman has clearly upset someone in a high place as he has just taken his second shocking beat and is now out of this thing. This time, he limps on the button and Valdemar raises from the small blind. Silverman pushes his entire stack of about 700,000 in, and Valdemar thinks for a while before making what he clearly knows is a crying call. Indeed it is: he has 2s-2c and is way behind Silverman's red pocket fives. But the board again favours the Hungarian as it comes 4s-8c-8s and then the killer turn and river of Js Ks to fill the flush with Valdemar's 2s.
