Meirink Doubles Through Curti

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Aaron Curti saw action folded to him on the button and opened to 7,000. He was called by Steve Meirink, who was in the small blind, and the two went heads up to a flop of {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Meirink checked.

"All in," said Curti.

"Call," responded Meirink with a half-shrug after about three seconds.

Steve Meirink: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Aaron Curti: {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Curti had put Meirink all in after flopping bottom two pair and Meirink called with the nut flush draw and a Broadway draw to go along with it. The turn {6-Spades} was of no help to Meirink, who now found himself with one card left to improve to double and stay alive. The river {6-Hearts} fell in his favor, filling up his flush draw to top Curti's two pair.

Upon seeing the river, Curti immediately tapped the felt to signify a nice hand as Meirink pushed forward his stack to be counted. It was totaled to be 60,500 and Curti send the appropriate amount to Meirink.
