When we arrived at the table, there was 4,100 in chips in the middle on a flop of 
between Jesse Sylvia and another player. The player had 3,300 in front of him and Sylvia had raised to 8,500. Sylvia's opponent reraised with a flick of the wrist and made it 18,300 to go with 23,000-24,000 behind. Sylvia tanked, and after a minute or two, he moved all in for 45,400 total, having his opponent covered.
It was now time for Sylvia's opponent to go into the tank. After a bit of thought, the player asked if Sylvia had him covered, which he did. Another few moments passed, and then the player made the call to put his tournament life on the line with the 
. Sylvia turned up the 
for trip nines and took a large, visible gulp as he knew how big the pot was and that he wasn't out of the water just yet.
The turn was the 
to add another sweat in the hand, as Sylvia's opponent picked up a flush draw. The former World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up leaned forward in his chair and awaited the river card.
After one final burn card, the dealer smacked the 
on the river. Although it was black, it wasn't a club, and Sylvia had won the pot. Having his opponent covered gave Sylvia all the chips and moved his stack to a very impressive 92,000 here in Level 2 of the WSOP Asia-Pacific Main Event.
