Hand #394: Sylvia Fighting Back

Level 42 : 1,000,000/2,000,000, 300,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia had the button. He limped in, and Greg Merson checked his option in the big blind to see the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. Merson checked, and Sylvia checked behind.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}, and Merson checked again. Sylvia bet 4.5 million. Merson made the call.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}, and Merson checked. Sylvia took his time before betting about 14 million, but Merson quickly folded.
