Brandon Steven Hits the Rail and Gregg Merkow Doubles Up

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Omar Zazay was all in with Brandon Steven preflop. He showed Steven two queens.

"Well I got two unders," Steven said presenting {5-}{5-}.

Steven didn't catch up, in fact, he got counterfeited by the board as it ran out {k-}{k-}{8-}{j-}{8-}.

A couple hands later at the same table, Gregg Merkow doubled up with {a-}{q-} against pocket nines when he flopped a pair and turned two pair.
