Merlin Saved by the River

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

In a three-bet pot, Pierre Merlin on the button continue for 5,600 on 937, then fired a second barrel of 12,400 on the Q turn.

Oleksandr Shevchenko in middle position check-called on the flop, but check-raised all-in turn. Merlin went deep into the tank and eventually made the call, finding himself at risk for 35,500.

Pierre Merlin: KK All in
Oleksandr Shevchenko: 97

Shevchenko flopped two pair and was on his way to crack Merlin's king, but the Q river gave a better two pair to Merlin, who doubled up.
