Sylla Gets Value with River Lead
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
J Baltimor opened to 1,600 from the hijack before "James" three-bet to 4,800 from the cutoff. In the small blind, famous French actor and comedian Ahmed Sylla put in the cold call while Baltimor got out of the way.
Then Q?Q?J? flop checked through to the 5? turn which saw Sylla check for a second time. James put in a delayed continuation for 3,000 and Sylla put in the call.
The river brought the 10?. Sylla opted to lead for a size of 8,500. James was clearly uncomfortable with the decision but he ultimately decided to put in the call. He got the bad news immediately as Sylla tabled K?Q? for flopped trips as he dragged another big pot.
