Jesse Sylvia Eliminated in 26th Place ($33,967)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jesse Sylvia - 26th Place
Jesse Sylvia - 26th Place

Maurice Hawkins raised to 32,000 from under the gun - roughly 20 percent of his stack - and both Jesse Sylvia and Abraham Korotki called from the blinds.

The dealer spread {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, both players in the blinds checked, and Hawkins continued for 35,000. Sylvia check-raised to 90,000, Korotki quickly cold-called, and Hawkins went into the tank. After a two-minute, agonizing tank, which looked a little embellished for the cameras, Hawkins made the fold.

The turn was the {6-Spades}, the 2012 WSOP Main Event runner-up open-shoved for 445,000, and the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship Event winner instantly called.

Sylvia showed {j-Clubs}{7-Spades} for top two pair, and a few seconds passed before Korotki revealed {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a set. A few players at the table scoffed at the sight of the apparent slowroll, and one of them even called for a jack as the dealer burned and turned the river; the {9-Hearts}.

Sylvia hit the rail, earning $33,967, while Korotki is now up to 1.53 million chips.
