Sylvia Runs into a Monster
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
We found Jesse Sylvia deep in the tank against John Scaife. On the turn, with the board reading 
, Sylvia had seen Scaife raise his 32,000 bet all in for 124,000 more. Sylvia thought for a few minutes, and Matt Marafioti commented that he wasn't up for waiting 10 minutes every hand. Finally, Sylvia called.
Sylvia: 
Scaife: 
"Nice hand," Sylvia said in a resigned voice, seeing that he was drawing dead against his opponent's wheel.
In the aftermath of the hand, another player voiced his displeasure with the pace of the play.
"Solid two-orbit-an-hour pace," he said.
