Merrick Hits the River to Double Through Deeb

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised to 16,000 from early position before John Merrick three-bet to 24,000. Deeb responded by moving all in, and Merrick called off his last 150,000.

Deeb showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} but was dominated by the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} of Merrick. The {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop didn't improve either player, but Deeb hit a pair of jacks on the {j-Clubs} turn.

Merrick needed to hit a queen or a ten for a straight to stay alive and was saved when the {q-Hearts} came on the river.

He doubled to 350,000, while Deeb was left with 280,000.
