Hand #276: Sylvia WIns with River Bet

Level 40 : 600,000/1,200,000, 200,000 ante

The button was on Greg Merson to start this hand, and he folded. Jesse Sylvia called from the small blind, and Jake Balsiger checked in the big blind. From there, the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop rolled out, and Sylvia checked. Balsiger bet 1.5 million, and Sylvia called.

The turn card was the {K-Hearts}, and Sylvia checked. Balsiger checked behind to see the {A-Diamonds} fall on the river. Sylvia reached for chips and fired in 3.75 million. Balsiger folded, and Sylvia scooped the pot.
