Hand #299: Jesse James

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

Jake Balsiger was on the button, and he folded. Greg Merson limped in from the small blind, Jesse Sylvia checked, and the flop came {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The {6-Hearts} turned, Merson led for 1.6 million, and Sylvia raised to what looked like four million. Merson immediately folded, and Sylvia picked up the pot.
