HomeJC Sayo, the young-un with two trophies in this series already, picked up a couple of big pots to bring his stack to around 130k.
On the first hand, he stared down a board of 2♦ 8♠ 9♦ and checked to Marc Rivera who bet out 8k. Next was Ron Manning with a call. Sayo then check-raised all in for an additional 29.8k to call. Rivera folded but Manning obliged.
