Merheb Rivers a Higher Set to Bust Moldovan
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After an open from under the gun to 12,000, Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan jammed from the next seat for 67,000. Andress Merheb cold-called from the hijack, forcing the rest of the table to fold.
Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan: 9♦9♣ 
Andress Merheb: 10♥10♠
Moldovan was behind to the pocket tens of Merheb, and he needed to find a nine from the dealer to stay alive. The dealer provided that nine as she fanned out the flop of 9♥5♠7♦. The 5♥ turn meant only a ten on the river would send Moldovan to the rail. The brutal 10♣ fell on the river to give Merheb a higher set, and Moldovan headed for the exit.
