Sylvia Doubles Up to Keep One Step Ahead of the Bubble
Niveau 19
: Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
The player on the button raised, and after flipping an imaginary coin in the air and having it land tails, the small blind folded. That left Jesse Sylvia with barely more than two bets behind to raise. The button called and they headed to the flop with Sylvia's tournament hopes on the line.
When the flop rolled off 5♥Q♣7♥ the button announced bet, and Sylvia's lone $1,000 chip beat the button's into the pot.
Sylvia A♣8♥
Button A♥6♦
Neither player made a pair as the 3♣ and 7♣ came turn, river, but Sylvia's eight kicker to the player's shared ace high gave him a much-needed chance at survival.
