Meragal Triples With Jacks
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Maduka Meragal opened from early position and Kiryl Asaulenka three-bet to 3,000 on the button. Mauricio Sanchez then four-bet to 11,500 from the small blind and Meragal responded by five-bet jamming a stack of 15,200. Asaulenka called and Sanchez also called.
Sanchez checked on the flop of 7♥7♣4♦ and Asaulenka also checked. Sanchez then led out for a small 8,000 on the 3♣ turn and Asaulenka called.
The Q♠ river checked through and Meragal showed J♥J♠ for a pair of jacks, which was good to win the main pot as his opponents respectively held A♥K♣ and A♦K♦ to chop up the side pot.
