Give it to Merlin

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The hot streak of Pierre Merlin continues as the Frenchman also took the entire stack of Yvan Bensasson. The latter tried to bluff three streets on a board of {5-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} and the last bet was for 60,000 chips. Merlin called quickly with {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and Bensasson looked gutted before flipping over his {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

Omar Lakhdari
Omar Lakhdari

From 200,000 to 50,000 and out, that's the story of Omar Lakhdari in the last two levels. After one limp and the call of Brian Benhamou, Lakhdari shoved the big blind for just over 10 big blinds and Benhamou called with slightly more and {A-} {8-}. Lakhdari only had {8-} {7-} and the board ran out jack-high without providing any help to either player.

In the first big pot, Soufiane Abbouti had spiked a set of deuces on a board of {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {10-Spades} but Laura Gallardo received a full double up with {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}.

Shortly after, Abbouti three-bet an open raise from 11,000 to 27,000 and tank-called all in when Anouar Mehlil shoved for around 160,000 in chips. The Belgian was way ahead with Qs] {Q-Hearts} but his opponent's {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} improved on the turn of a {8-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} board.

Joining the action on a four-way turn with the board reading {6-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} {J-Clubs}, Matas Cimbolas bet 25,500 and enforced a fold from his two opponents while Alberto Gonzalez Penelas was already all in. "I don't even know why I am betting," the Lithuanian said and then turned over the {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades}.

Gonzalez Penelas needed an ace with {A-Clubs} {3-Spades} but the {K-Clubs} on the river was a brick. other recent bustouts include Dimitri Halliez as well as Vitaliy Shepitko.
