Sylvia Ramps up the Aggression

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jesse Sylvia
Jesse Sylvia

A player opened to 1,100 from the button and Jesse Sylvia three-bet to 4,800 from the small blind. Action folded back to the player on the button, who called.

The flop came {4-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Sylvia continued with a 2,700 bet. His opponent quickly folded and Sylvia scooped the pot.

Sylvia, who has more than $7 million in career earnings, including a second-place finish at the 2012 WSOP Main Event, is currently at the same table as 2009 WSOP champion Joe Cada and will be one to watch.
