Merlino Survives on the River

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Merlino
Michael Merlino

Mike Merlino moved all in for 550,000 in the big blind on a flop of 4♥8♠5♠ and Matt Matros called in early position, while Jonathan Rudnick folded on the button.

Mike Merlino: 6♠4♠ All in
Matt Matros: K♠K♣

Merlino had a pair and flush draw as he was up against Matros' kings. The Q♥ turn was no help, but he caught the 4♣ on the river to make trips and earn the double up.
