Hand #145: Balsiger Picks One Up

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia had the button and opened to 1.2 million. Jake Balsiger three-bet to 3.5 million, and Sylvia called.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Balsiger led out for 3 million, and Sylvia tank-called.

The turn brought the {6-Diamonds}, Balsiger led again - this time for 5.7 million - and Sylvia folded. Balsiger happily raked in his first pot of the evening.
