Hand #279: Family Pot

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

Greg Merson had the button, and limped. Jesse Sylvia completed from the small blind, Jake Balsiger checked his option in the big blind, and the flop fell {2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}. All three players checked.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, Sylvia and Balsiger checked again, and Merson fired two million. Sylvia and Balsiger both folded, and Merson picked up the pot.
