Hand #306: Give It To Balsiger

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

Greg Merson had the button to start this hand. He limped in, Jesse Sylvia called from the small blind, and Jake Balsiger checked out of the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and all three players checked to see the {5-Hearts} land on the turn. Again, they all checked. The river was the {10-Clubs}, and all three players checked once more.

Balsiger showed the {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a pair of threes, and both of his opponents folded.
