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.
