Hand #163: Jesse Sylvia

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

Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button, and opened to 1.2 million. Greg Merson defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Merson checked, Sylvia checked, and the turn brought the {5-Clubs}.

Merson knuckled again, and Sylvia tossed out 1.5 million. Merson called.

The {2-Clubs} completed the board, Merson quickly checked, and Sylvia tanked before firing 2.8 million. Merson quickly folded, and Sylvia picked up the pot.
