Hand #159: Balsiger Over 100 Big Blinds

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Greg Merson had the button, and raised to 1.2 million. Jake Balsiger defended his big blind, and the flop fell {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}. Both players checked.

The {a-Spades} was the turn card, and Balsiger led out for 2 million. Merson folded, and Balsiger is now above the 60 million-chip threshold.
