Jasper Merts Makes a Call with Bottom Pair

Action folds around to the small blind who made a raise to 20,000. Jasper Merts called from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} and the small blind moved all in for 68,500. Merts called and showed {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} for bottom pair. Turns out it was a great call as the small blind turned over {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} .

The board filled out {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades}{K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} allowing Jasper's hand to hold up, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.
