Sy Rockets into the Lead
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
In a huge heads-up pot with over 700,000 in the middle, the board read 4♦10♠7♦10♥K♥ when William Pinheiro in the bug blind checked over to Michael Sy in the cutoff.
Sy then set out a bet of 175,000 and Pinheiro went briefly into the tank before he tossed out calling chips.
He was then shown J♣10♣ by Sy for trip tens and he let out a big sigh as he mucked his hand. Sy was then pushed the million-chip pot to rocket his stack to over 2,000,000.
