Hand #183: Jake Balsiger

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

Greg Merson had the button, and opened to 1.6 million. Jake Balsiger defended his big blind, and the flop came {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Balsiger checked, Merson tossed out two million, and Balsiger called.

The turn was a third club - the {4-Clubs} - and Balsiger checked again. Merson checked behind, and the river brought the {q-Diamonds}. Balsiger led out for 2.8 million, and Merson released his hand.
