Hand #251: Sylvia's Full House

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

Jake Balsiger had the button, and he opened to two million. Jesse Sylvia defended his big blind, and the flop fell {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Sylvia checked, Balsiger fired 1.5 million, and Sylvia called. The turn was the {q-Clubs}, Sylvia checked again, and Balsiger slid out 3.5 million. Sylvia called.

The {k-Clubs} completed the board, and Sylvia checked a third time. Balsiger fired four million, and Sylvia tank-called.

Balsiger showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for effectively ace-high, but Sylvia had him beat with {k-Spades}{8-Spades} for a full house.
