Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
After an open to 3,000 by Robert Merulla, experienced tournament grinder and 2013 World Series of Poker final tablist Barry Hutter went for the three-bet steal by making it 6,500 to play.
Merulla tanked for nearly two minutes while counting out his stack and studying Hutter from across the table. He was eventually convinced by the pressure though, and after being played back at Merulla surrendered the pot.
