Sylla Gets Value with River Lead
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
J Baltimor opened to 1,600 from the hijack before "James" three-bet to 4,800 from the cutoff. In the small blind, famous French actor and comedian Ahmed Sylla put in the cold call while Baltimor got out of the way.
Then Q♠Q♦J♠ flop checked through to the 5♥ turn which saw Sylla check for a second time. James put in a delayed continuation for 3,000 and Sylla put in the call.
The river brought the 10♣. Sylla opted to lead for a size of 8,500. James was clearly uncomfortable with the decision but he ultimately decided to put in the call. He got the bad news immediately as Sylla tabled K♣Q♣ for flopped trips as he dragged another big pot.
