Action folded around to a late-position player who raised to 2,400. Tony Merksick reraised to 7,000 from the cutoff. Thad Wolff moved all in from the small blind. It was 5,600 more to Merksick, who took some time before reluctantly calling. The players showed:

Merksick: {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

Wolff:

{A-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

Merksick was behind, but had live cards. The flop gave him even more outs coming {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

. The turn sealed the deal as it came the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

. Wolff shook his head and calmly exited the tournament area. Merksick seemed somewhat embarrassed when the turn card hit, but had no problem stacking the pot.
