Hand #168: Sylvia Check-Raises Merson

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Greg Merson started this hand with the button. He opened with a raise to 1.6 million, and action fell on Jesse Sylvia in the small blind. Sylvia paused, then three-bet to 4.1 million. Merson called.

The flop came down {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and Sylvia was first to act. He checked to his opponent, and Merson bet 2.35 million. Sylvia check-raised to what looked like six million, and Merson quickly folded.
