Jesse James Sylvia Has Been Eliminated by Ørjan Skommo
Jesse James Sylvia Has Been Eliminated by Ørjan Skommo

Orjan Skommo just built one of the biggest stacks in the room, after eliminating last year's Main Event runner-up Jesse James Sylvia.

The Norwegian born Skommo, whose first name actually appears as Ørjan in his native language, and is "unpronounceable in English," claimed the rest of Sylvia's stack in a single hand.

Sylvia opened to 4,000 from early position, and after action folded around to him on the button, Skommo three-bet to 9,800. This bet prompted Sylvia to make a play at the pot, and he moved all in for his last 60,000. Skommo quickly called with his {Q-}{Q-}, which put him far ahead of Sylvia's {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

The board ran out clean for Skommo, and by busting one of the best players remaining in the field, he emerged as one of the chip leaders early on the second day of play.
