Ryan grills Sylvia early in the match, getting a fold. Now it repeats itself on the straightening, paired board. McKnight is back over 5,000,000.
Again showing an aspect of the game that McKnight is not using on the flop and out of position, Sylvia check raises a queen high flop and gets the fold from the preflop aggressor.
Next hand, three bet from Ryan. We see an Ace high flop and 175,000 in continuation. Small gulp from sylvia – and call. The King of hearts on the turn – and 350, 000 from McKnight takes it down.
Another min from the button, and Sylvia lets it go.
Then, big pot on the turn – his check raises have been later in the hand so far – of a middle runout board, Ryan pulls the check raise to 400,000, gets a call, and on {6h} {7c} {8c} {7d} {3d}, puts in 700,000.
This is a tournament changing hand if Sylvia calls – the pot is 1,700,000 including river lead.
Sylvia takes a long time – and folds.
He is left with a little over a million, and Ryan is now way up with over 5,400,000.
