Hand #170: Balsiger Takes This One

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

Jake Balsiger started this hand with the button. He opened to 1.6 million, and Greg Merson made the call from the small blind. Jesse Sylvia folded from the big blind, and the flop came down {J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Merson led for 2.4 million, and Balsiger called.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds}, and Merson checked. Balsiger opted to go with a bet, and he fired out 3.3 million. Merson folded.
