Sylla Wins Massive Pot Just Before Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Before the bubble burst, Daragh Davey opened from under the gun and Ahmed Sylla called in the big blind.
On the Q♦6♥4♥ flop, Davey continued for 25,000, Sylla check-raised, Davey three-bet, and Sylla called.
With around 400,000 in the middle, the 3♠ landed on the turn. Sylla checked, Davey jammed for 554,000 effective as the covering stack, and Sylla snap-called.
Ahmed Sylla: 7♦5♠ 
Daragh Davey: Q♥Q♣
Davey flopped top set but Sylla turned the nut straight. The board did not pair on the J♠ river and Sylla won the largest pot of the tournament.
