Silver Knocked Back Down
Nate Silver, the creator of the FiveThirtyEight blog and author of The Signal and the Noise, got off to a quick start here in the Main Event, jumping up to 40,000, but now he's been knocked down to the starting stack.
We caught the action on the turn with 20,000 in the pot and a board reading . Silver's opponent checked from middle position, and then Silver did the same on the button. The action repeated itself on the river, and Silver tabled . Unfortunately for him, it was no good as the middle-position player held .
