Second Pair Is Good For Merlo
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ex Warcraft professional player Yoan Merlo opened to 900 from early position. Everybody else at the table folded, except for the big blind, who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2♦Q♠6♣ that both players checked. Then the 9♦ appeared on the turn. The small blind threw a single chip of 1,000 in front of him, and Merlo matched the bet with 1,000 as well.
On the river 3♥ and both players checked once more. The small blind revealed 4♠4♦, but it wasn't enough as Merlo showed A♣9♣ for a pair of nines.
