A massive hand just took place over on Table 445 that saw one player pull out to a massive chip lead.

.
Thompson held an overpair but it was behind the flopped two pair of Sylvestre. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Thompson and he was eliminated from the tournament while Sylvestre raked in a pot of approximately 600,000!
