Hand #358: Balsiger Wins with Turn Bet

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia had the button to begin this hand. He folded, and Jake Balsiger called from the small blind. Greg Merson checked his option in the big blind, and the flop rolled out {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and Balsiger fired 2.5 million. Merson folded, and Balsiger won the pot.
