data-mm-id=”_kq3opa3bo”>Nate Silver, the pollster and burrito enthusiast of FiveThirtyEight fame, played in the Main Event of the 2023 World Series of Poker. Silver was knocked out on Day 6 on a fairly brutal hand that he really stood no hope of surviving once he flopped a set. Silver saw a flop along with World Poker Tour personality Tony Dunst and Henry Chan, who does not appear to have an online presence. All three had a pocket pair with Silver flopping a set of 6's, Chan flopping 7's and Dunst missing the board completely. Dunst quickly made his way out of the hand and Silver ended up all in and staring at some cold hard numbers predicting little chance of success. In the words of Norman Chad, "No fancy math here, just one out."A brutal end for @NateSilver538 who goes set under set against Henry Chan to be eliminated from the 2023 @WSOP Main Event. 📺 – Watch Live Here: https://t.co/dGLv7f1yTF pic.twitter.com/yQWAYTSrMF— PokerGO (@PokerGO) July 13, 2023According to Newsweek, Silver earned $92,600 for his finish, which would have him finishing in 80-somethingth place, which is pretty impressive. While it's far from the $12.1 million the winner will receive, it's a decent return on a $10,000 investment. It can be hard to last six hours into a poker tournament. Making it to the sixth day is a accomplishment, no matter what the prediction models say.

Looking to extend on their Premiership purple patch on Friday night, Aberdeen will make the trip to Victoria Park when they meet Ross County.

Walter Mazzarri wants reigning Serie A champions Napoli to buck the trend of recording underwhelming results and kick on in 2024, starting with a positive result at his former club Torino on Sunday.
The Azzurri claimed a first Scudetto since 1990 last season but are now languishing down in eighth after losing four of their last seven games, with last week’s goalless draw at home to Monza summing up the current sense of malaise in Naples.
Defending their crown may look a tall order, with leaders Inter Milan already 20 points better off, but Mazzarri just wants to start delivering better performances for the fans.

Real Madrid full-back Fabio Coentrao has requested a transfer, manager Carlos Ancelotti has revealed.
The Portugal international has struggled to nail down a regular first-team spot since arriving from Benfica in 2011, making 53 appearances in all competitions.

Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old and Ancelotti confirmed the left-back will not feature in Real s Liga opener against Real Betis on Sunday.

Juventus face a tough ask in returning to winning ways in Serie A when the fourth-placed Sampdoria visit Turin on Sunday.
Successive 0-0 draws have slowed the momentum of Juve, who previously won six matches in a row scoring 19 times in the process.
But their goalless stalemate against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday was crucial as it booked their place in the last 16.
Juve are the only Serie A side remaining in Europe s premier club competition and showed good character to qualify after losing two of their first three Group A matches.
They dominated an Atleti side who were happy to sit back and concede possession but lacked cutting edge something coach Massimiliano Allegri will be keen to address.
Juve caused few problems…
Mesut Ozil should be benched for Germany s second World Cup group game against Sweden, according to Stefan Effenberg.
Arsenal midfielder Ozil played the full 90 minutes as Germany slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Mexico in their Group F opener – the side s first competitive defeat since their semi-final exit from Euro 2016 when they lost 2-0 to France.
Effenberg questioned Germany head coach Joachim Low s decision not to include second-half substitute Marco Reus in his starting line-up, calling for the Borussia Dortmund man to be in from the outset against Sweden.
Low should put Ozil on the bench and bring in Marco Reus instead, Effenberg wrote in his column on t-online.de. I could not understand why Reus did not play against Mexico from the start.
