Sylvia Busts Opponent
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Under the Gun Player: 
Jesse Sylvia: 
The at risk player was in terrible shape, needing something close to a miracle to survive. No help was forthcoming on the 
runout, sending the under the gun player out of the tournament. Sylvia, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the big stacks in the room.
