Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante
Greg Merson
Greg Merson

Jesse Sylvia had the button, and folded. Jake Balsiger limped in from the small blind, Greg Merson checked his option, and the flop came {6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Balsiger checked, Greg Merson fired one million, and Balsiger called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}, Balsiger checked again, and Merson checked behind.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board, Balsiger checked a third time, and Merson slid out 5 million. Balsiger tank-folded, and Merson won the pot.
