Mullaney's Set Takes Out Sylvia
Level 21
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
John Mullaney and Jesse Sylvia, two of the shorter stacks at their table, were involved in a swollen pot before the flop just before the dinner break.
The flop brought 5♦10♥J♠, opening the door for more chips to enter the fray with betting. The turn produced 6♣, and Mullaney bet into Sylvia, who took at least two minutes to ponder the situation. Sylvia eventually counted out the rest of his chips, restacked them, and then announced an all-in bet.
Mullaney immediately called and tabled 5♦5♥, while Sylvia showed AxKx, needing help against Mullaney’s bottom set.
But with 7♦ on the river, Mullaney secured the hand and sent Sylvia to the rail.
