Hand #63: Sylvia Increases

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

Jake Balsiger had the button. From under the gun, Jesse Sylvia raised to 850,000. From the cutoff seat, Russell Thomas made the call, and everyone else folded. For this pot, it was number one versus number two in terms of chip stacks at the final table.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Sylvia fired a continuation bet worth 950,000. Thomas folded, and Sylvia won the pot.
