Merlin Drops Some; Herzali's Fives are Good

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Erwann Pecheux was part of a four-way pot to the {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} turn and folded when facing a bet worth 1,050 and the other two players also mucked their cards, the pot was shipped to Stephan Zesiger.

Pierre Merlin was the initial raiser from under the gun and then bet the {J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Clubs} turn for 1,050. Sascha Olms called from the button and did so again for 2,150 on the {5-Clubs} river. Merlin showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and that ended up second best to the {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} of the German.

Last but not least, Sarah Herzali sat down on the table of Mohsin Charania and faced a raise to 300. Herzali called out of the small blind and the two players checked through the {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop. On the {8-Diamonds} turn, Herzali check-called a bet of 400 by the preflop aggressor and the {10-Diamonds} river was checked through again.

Herzali flashed {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and that was good enough to win the pot.
