Anthony Merulla Just Claimed a Big Pot By Pushing David Paredes Off His Hand

Hand 150: Merulla raised to 800,000 and Paredes flatted to take the {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop. Paredes checked to Merulla, who fired out a bet of 700,000. Paredes was not impressed though, and he raised it up to 1.8 million, a move which forced the fold and earned the pot.

Hand 151: Merulla got a walk in the big

Hand 152: Merulla opened for 800,000 and Paredes called, with the flop coming {6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Merulla led for 700,000 and Paredes counted out a stack before folding his cards.

Hand 153: Paredes opened for 800,000 and Merulla took his time before three-betting to 2 million flat. Paredes obliged with the call and the two took a flop of {4-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Merulla grabbed a handful of gold T100000 chips and slowly counted out a bet of 1.5 million and placed it forward, and Paredes only took a few seconds before calling the bet. The turn card came {5-Clubs} and Merulla reached for his stack to make a big 2.4 million wager. Paredes tanked for a bit before tossign his cards away, and a sizable pot was shipped to Merulla.
