(Sylvia thinking over her next move at the WSOP)
Two former Premier Poker Tour
players from London just got back
from Las Vegas.
Tony and Sylvia Shilyuk
both cashed at the WSOP !!!
Tony came in 5th at Event #9
$1500 Short Handed NL Holdem,
worth a cool $70,860.
He started the final table as the
short stack with 310,000 in chips
Hand 75, Rep Porter on the button
in seat 3 raises to 45,000.
Tony thinks a bit, then moves all in
from the small blind for 138,000.
The others get out of the way & Rep calls.
Tony shows: Kc 8c
Rep shows: 3c 3s
The gallery was on their feet
in the Final Table Area.
Porter has Tony covered so
his tournament life is on the line.
The flop comes Jd 4s 2c.
Porter's legion of fans applaud
while Tony's grow uneasy.
The tournament director explains
that Tony needs to catch a King,
an Eight, running Clubs, or
running double Board Pair to
stay alive in the hand.
The turn comes the 4c ,
the best card that could come
without taking the lead outright.
Now Tony can catch a King, an 8,
a Jack, or a Club to survive and
double up. When the dealer layed
down the river, it was the 5d.
Porter's pocket threes hold up
as he breaks the 2 million chip mark.
Tony went out in fifth and Porter
went on to win the bracelet.
Sylvia came in 40th at Event # 15
$1000 Ladies World Championship
for $3682.
The cutoff, Jody Phillippo, raised
All In preflop with 9d 9h.
Sylvia called from the big blind
with Qc Qh.
The flop was 8s 7c 5d giving Phillipo
a straight draw. The turn gave her
a double gutshot, more outs when
the 10s popped off.
Sylvia had one more card to sweat,
and then boom... the 6d landed as
the last card. Phillippo made a
straight and sent Sylvia to the rail.
Also notable, Sylvia finished ahead
of tourny veterans Kathy Leibert
and Evelyn Ng.
Big Congrats to both of you !
