Jesse Sylvia was sitting on a very promising stack until a few moments ago when the following hand occurred.
There were four players in the pot for 2,000 apiece, with Jesse Sylvia in the latest position. The flop came , and the first two players checked. Deepinder Singh, directly to Sylvia's right, bet 6,200. Sylvia was the only player to call.
Then, the appeared on the turn, and the action continued. Singh cut out a bet of 12,000 and slid it forward. Sylvia asked his opponent to lift his left arm up so that he could see how much he had left behind. It was around 30,000. Sylvia took nearly three minutes to determine a plan.
The dealer considered it was time to call the floor person, and the new clock-calling rule was applied. Sylvia received 30 seconds and would have an additional 10-second vocal countdown should he need it. He called before reaching that point.
The river was a meaningless at first sight. Now it was Singh who didn't hurry. However, he announced an all in after about 90 seconds or so. This prompted a usual request from Sylvia: "Can I get the count?" It was 30,200 to call. Sylvia had more than that, but it was certainly a tough decision for the former November Niner. However, Sylvia moved a pile of his chips towards the middle, and Singh turned over for a flopped set.
Sylvia showed for top two and a missed flush draw. He's down to 7,100, while Singh's stack soared up to 115,000.
John Hulett, the captain of Singh's two-men team, must be happy about his sidekick's performance.

An ace on the river is usually a classic killer to win a coin flip, or spike a three-outer, or what have you.
An ace also hit the river when Andreas Klatt was all in with against for his last 7,900. It confused half of the table, as the players (and the dealer) thought that that was it for the German and his team. Klatt stayed calm, however, because he knew better.
The board ran , and Klatt indicated he made flush by moving the Jack of Hearts closer to the community cards. What actually happened was soon clear to everyone, and Klatt could fully enjoy his double.

The flop was a disaster for Duthie, as he needed running aces or queens to avoid an elimination just shy of the money. Sure enough, the turn and river completed the board and Duthie completed in spectacular fashion.
