WSOP Day 3: Sylvain Coeur(de Lion) with 540.000 chips!!!

Amazing day for our french player from Grenoble in the main event of the WSOP in Las Vegas. He started the day with 300.000 and after being down to 135.000 is now behind a stack of 540.000 (the average is 480.000).

3 hands played were very important:

The first one when he called an all in bet from his right neighbor with QQ vs AK.

The traditional "All in and called table 33" announce the arrival of the ESPN crew but the dealer wants to go faster and reveals the 2 first card of the flop: a King and a Jack.

We had to wait for the minutes to see the last one (waiting for ESPN) and the third card is an ace, giving top two pairs for his opponent but drawing a gutshot for Sylvain... The turn is an AMAZING Ten for the nut straight. The river will not pair the board and Joliecoeur doubled up.

The second one:

Sylvain called an all-in from the same player with TT and his opponent held AA.
The flop came: J82 turn 7 and river 9 for another straight!!!

Finally he built his 540.000 chips stack with a pocket Kings vs AQ with a Queen on the flop, his opponent bet flop and turn and get called by Sylvain.

Check/check on the river because of the 2 Three and the 3 diamonds on the board.

GO Sylvain!!!
