Silver Section: A Radoja Double, The Price Has Dipped and Middy Leads

[user169505]

We are currently fifteen-minutes into Level 8 and with 620 players left let us give you some news from the Silver section of the Brasilia Room.

In 2010, Mark Radoja same so close to winning his first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he finished in 3rd spot in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event. Then last year Radoja finally reached his goal - and slipped on the gold - when he won the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout event. Moving on to 2012 and he very nearly won back-to-back WSOP bracelets when he finished runner-up in Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed. So Radoja is on fire, but when we joined his table the heat was almost extinguished, and then this happened.

The player in the hijack raised to 750 and the button and small blind made the call. Radoja was seated in the big blind with 4,275 chips and he pushed them into the middle. The hijack made the call and we were heads-up to the flop with Radoja at risk of elimination.
