Ace on the River Pulls Merrifield from Deep Waters
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Level 9: 1,000/1,500/1,500
The player under the gun raised to 4,500 before facing a three-bet to 25,000 from Brad Merrifield on the button. The under-the-gun player paused briefly before moving all-in and Merrifield quickly called off as the smaller stack to put himself at risk and send both players to a runout.
Brad Merrifield: A♣Q♣
Under The Gun: Q♠Q♥
The flop of 2♦7♠2♣ was safe for the under-the-gun player, as was the 4♥ turn. But when the river came the A♠, Merrifield came from behind to win the pot and secure the double.
