Merchant Hits a Straight
Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Zeeshan Merchant limped from early position. Peter Steiner called from the small blind, so Nathan Tetart in the big blind only had to check his option to find a flop of 2♠3♥9♦.
Merchant bet 600, but Steiner check-raised to 3,000. Tetart check-folded and Merchant made the call.
Steiner fired a second barrel of 7,000 on the 4♦ turn. Merchant raised all-in for 20,600 and Steiner made the call.
Zeeshan Merchant: A♣5♥ 
Peter Steiner: 9♥4♣
Merchant hit a straight on the turn and doubled up after the 5♣ river against Steiner's two pair.
