Hand #121: Balsiger Climbing Back Into the Mix

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante
Jake Balsiger
Jake Balsiger

Jesse Sylvia started this hand with the button. Action moved to him, and he raised to 1.4 million. Jake Balsiger called from the big blind, and the flop came down {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Balsiger checked over to Sylvia, and the start-of-the-day chip leader fired 1.6 million. Balsiger called.

The turn was the {Q-Clubs}, and both players checked to see the {K-Spades} land on the river. Balsiger fired 2.5 million, and Sylvia folded.
