Sayonara Sylvia

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With the bust-out rate picking up at an alarming rate, we've just witnessed Jesse Sylvia's elimination over the course of two hands as the action continues in Day 2 of Event #10.

On a board of {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, Sylvia and Efren Garcia were involved in some heavy post-flop betting action, which resulted in all the money getting into the middle. Sylvia tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for middle set, but ran smack into the {Q-Spades}{4-Spades} of Garcia.

"That's sick," Sylvia muttered as the turn and river bricked out {6-Diamonds}, {A-Diamonds}. With only 2,000 left, Sylvia shipped that in from the small blind with {J-}{10-} in the very next hand after a preflop raise by Mario Perez from the cutoff. Jose Ignacio Barbero called from the big blind, then Barbero and Perez checked all the way down the board of {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

It wasn't pretty, but Barbero's {10-Spades}{3-Clubs} was more than enough to seal Sylvia's fate. And while we didn't get the hand details, we can also report that Tommy Vedes has also hit the rail.
