Collado Puts Sylvia to the Test for His Tournament Life

We saw a crowd forming around Table 24 and made our way over to see what all the fuss was about. When we arrived there was already 50,000 in the pot and a board reading . Jan Collado slide out a huge bet of 125,000 from the small blind, and it was up to Jesse Sylvia, who only had 35,000 behind in the cutoff.

The 2012 World Series of Poker runner-up hit the tank hard as a call would be for his tournament life. One by one the minutes ticked by until, after about five minutes, Jackie Glazier (who had recently moved to the table) called the clock. After another 30 seconds or so had passed, Sylvia called and tabled . He seemed relieved when Collado revealed for the same hand. Chop it up.
