Double Knockout for Merva

Samuel Polack and Julien Sitbon were seen leaving the tournament area together, as they were eliminated in a three-way all in and call situation.

According to Darius Merva who won the pot, he called from the small blind after Polack opened in the cutoff and Sitbon called on the button.

On a flop of Q♣J♦9♣, everybody checked to Sitbon who bet 2,500. Merva called, but Polack raised to 7,500. Then Sitbon decided to go all in for approximately 28,000. Merva called, and so did Polack, with his last 20,800 remaining chips.

Samuel Polack: K♦10♥
Julien Sitbon: A♣J♣
Darius Merva: Q♥10♣

Polack was in the lead with his flopped straight, but Sitbon still had a flush draw to win. However, Merva was lucky enough to hit a runner-runner full house thanks to the turn 9♠ and the river 9♦ to take this big pot.
