The Wondrous Adventures of Jesse Sylvia and Fish Hooks
Jesse Sylvia, who you may remember as the runner-up in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event, opened for 18,000 under the gun and received a call from Sam Higgs, Mike Leah then three-bet to 56,000 from the hijack, Sylvia called, and Higgs got out of the way.
Sylvia proceeded to check-call a bet of 50,000 on the flop and then both players checked the turn. When the completed the board on the river, Sylvia checked for a third time but made a quick call when Leah bet 130,000. Leah tabled the for a rivered set, and a disgusted Sylvia showed before sending over nearly half his remaining chips.
In the very next hand, Mohsin Charania raised to 18,000 from the hijack and then called when Sylvia shoved for 127,000 from the big blind.
Charania:
Sylvia:
This time it was Sylvia with the jacks, and they'd score him the double after the board ran out .
