Hand #34: Merson vs. Sylvia Part Deux

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia had the button. Greg Merson raised to 800,000 from the cutoff, Sylvia re-raised to 1.9 million on his direct left, and Merson called.

The flop fell {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Merson check-called a 1.7 million-chip bet from Sylvia, and the {2-Spades} came on the turn. Merson checked again, Sylvia slid out 4.1 million, and Merson folded.
