Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button. He raised to 2.4 million, Jake Balsiger moved all in for around 17 million, and Greg Merson folded. Sylvia tank-called.

Balsiger: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Sylvia: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Chants of "Shaun The Dealer" filled the Penn & Teller Theater as the flop fell {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Balsiger's fans shouted at the sight of the king, while Sylvia's rail went silent.

The {k-Diamonds} on the turn sealed the deal, and after the {4-Spades} completed the board, Balsiger's stack was counted down. He is now flirting with 40 million chips.
