Hand #222: Two Pair for Sylvia

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 150,000 ante

Greg Merson had the button. He limped in, and Jesse Sylvia raised to 2.75 million from the small blind. Merson called.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Sylvia checked. Merson checked behind.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and put four spades on the board. Both players checked again.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and paired the board. Both checked again.

Sylvia showed the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair and took it down.
