Slide More to Sylvia

Following a Jacob Balsiger open from early position, Jesse Sylvia called from the big blind and the pair saw a flop come {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Sylvia checked, Balsiger bet 500,000, then Sylvia check-raised to 1,665,000. Balsiger thought it over, then called. The turn was the {K-Hearts}, pairing the board. This time Sylvia pushed out a bet of 2.65 million. Balsiger called again, making the total pot over 9 million.

The river brought the {10-Diamonds}. After sitting quietly for about a half-minute, Sylvia slid out stacks of chips for a bet of 4.3 million. Balsiger sat a full minute himself, then pushed away his hand.
