In for the Khalil

As if the recipient of a Mike Tyson jab/uppercut combo, two players have been floored by the hands of Charles Alexandre Sylvestre. The double K.O. began on a {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, Khalil Abujawdeh pushing all in for 29,000 and being called by Sylvestre. Out of the blue, Kazuhito Oshima jumped into the ring and shoved over the top. Again, Sylvestre made the call leading to a three-way dance:

Sylvestre: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Abujawdeh: {A-}{J-}{3-}{4-}
Oshima: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

With three breaths simultaneously held, the dealer reached for the deck...

Turn: {Q-Clubs}

Sylvestre spiked two pair! Only the river remained...

River: {9-Diamonds}

As Abujawdeh and Oshima headed back to the dressing room, Sylvestre scooped in a gargantuan pot and is now right up there contending for the chip lead with 220,000.

Ding. Next round.
