Jesse Jumping Up

Jesse Sylvia
Jesse Sylvia

Jesse Sylvia has had quite a last hour or so. Just now he was getting involved again, raising to 480,000 from the button. Scott Abrams responded with a reraise to 1,205,000 from the small blind, and after Jacob Balsiger folded, Sylvia pushed it up further to 2.6 million. Abrams looked at Sylvia's reraise, and was persuaded to fold.

Sylvia then three-bet the next hand after a Russell Thomas open, getting Thomas to fold, and is now sitting at around 25 million. Sylvia appears to have nudged into the lead at the moment as we near the next mid-level break.
