Hand #345: Sylvia > Merson

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

Greg Merson started the hand with the button, and he limped in. Jesse Sylvia completed from the small blind, Jake Balsiger checked his option in the big blind, and the flop came {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}. Sylvia led out for 2.7 million, and only Merson called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, Sylvia led for 5.6 million, and Merson called.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board, and both players checked.

Sylvia tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of tens, and won the pot.
