Hand #8: A Four-Bet from Balsiger

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 40,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia had the button. Jake Balsiger opened to 725,000 from middle position, Greg Merson three-bet to 1.6 million from the cutoff, and the action folded back to Balsiger, who four-bet to 3.4 million. Merson tank-called.

The flop fell {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}, and the crowd erupted. Balsiger led for 1.75 million, Merson quickly folded, and Balsiger raked in the pot.
