Sylvia Adds More

Russell Thomas opened with a raise from the cutoff and got a single caller in new chip leader Jesse Sylvia in the big blind. The flop came {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Sylvia checked, Thomas continued, and Sylvia called. The turn brought the {J-Spades} and another check from Sylvia. Thomas bet 1.05 million this time, and Sylvia called, building a pot of around 4 million.

The river brought the {3-Spades} and one more check from Sylvia. Thomas bet 1.55 million, and when Sylvia check-raised to 3.9 million, Thomas instantly tossed his cards into the muck.
