Balsiger Gives It Up on the River
Ever since he placed third in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event for $3,799,073, Jake Balsiger has made the trip to the Aussie Millions. In 2013, he notched four cashes at the Aussie Millions, including a runner-up finish in the A$1,150 No Limit Hold'em - Rebuy Event for AU$71,000. A year later, he only had one cash, though it was a hefty AU$650,000 for finishing third in the Main Event to Sorel Mizzi (runner-up) and Ami Barer (winner). Balsiger is seeking back-to-back deep runs, though his journey has gotten off to a rocky start.
In a recent hand, the player in the cutoff opened for 275 and Balsiger three-bet to 900 from the button. The blinds both folded, the cutoff called, and the pair watched the flop come down 
. The cutoff check-called a bet of 800, and then check-called one of 2,200 on the 
turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, the cutoff changed gears and led out for 4,575. Balsiger took his time, double checked his cards, and then sent them to the muck.
