Jesse Sylvia Runs Into Aces

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jesse Sylvia came into the day looking to duplicate the deep run he had in 2012 when he finished as the runner-up in the WSOP Main Event for $ 5,295,149. The day started off strong for Sylvia as he chipped up nicely through the first couple levels.

Since dinner break, however, Sylvia has lost parts of his stack in various pots and was down to around 35,000 chips. Then, he got involved in a preflop raising war with one of his opponents, and once they were all in, the cards were tabled.

Sylvia showed {q-}{q-} but was behind his opponent's {a-}{a-}. Unfortunately for Sylvia, he wasn't able to hit a queen, and his Main Event ended partway through Day 1b.
