Hand #259: Jesse Sylvia

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

Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button, and he opened to two million. Greg Merson defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Merson checked, Sylvia fired 1.7 million, and Merson called.

The turn brought the {a-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board, and both players checked again.

Merson tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for effectively king-high, and Sylvia showed {9-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a winning two pair.
