Hand #367: Sylvia Continues to Slide

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

Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button, and he limped in. Jake Balsiger completed from the small blind, Greg Merson checked in the big blind, and the flop fell {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}. All three players checked.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and all three players checked again.

The {2-Clubs} completed the board, Balsiger checked a third time, and Merson tossed out 2.5 million. Sylvia released, and Balsiger called.

Merson tabled {k-Hearts}{4-Spades} for fours and deuces, Balsiger mucked, and Merson picked up the pot.
