Hand #228: Sylvia Takes One from Balsiger

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 150,000 ante

Greg Merson started this hand with the button. He folded, and Jesse Sylvia limped in from the small blind. Jake Balsiger checked from the big blind, and the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Sylvia checked, and Balsiger bet one million. Sylvia called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {K-Spades} land on the river. Sylvia reached for chips and bet 2.3 million. Balsiger folded, and Sylvia won the pot.
