Unfortunately for Debbie, Silver forgot all her pre-match advice and dusted off a huge stack to finish 45th. "Don't overplay AQ", she specifically told him, but he proceeded to do exactly that, losing half his stack by betting every street once he hit an A on the Flop and even shoving for value on the River.......against AK. I don't think his manager would have made that mistake.
So 27 players remain from 10 countries. There is a good chance of a new country winning the Main, as only 10 of the 27 are American and only four of the others (two Germans and two Canadians) are from countries that have won it before. Britain (3 players) and France (4) have the best chance of making it a non-American victory.
Here's the kind of winner we would like to see:
John Hesp (UK) - 20.9m chips
