Hand #249: Sylvia Check-Raises

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

Greg Merson had the button, and he folded. Jesse Sylvia limped in from the small blind, and Jake Balsiger checked his option in the big blind.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, Sylvia checked, and Balsiger fired 1.1 million. Sylvia check-raised to 3.4 million, Balsiger quickly folded, and Sylvia picked up the pot.
