Meranda Soaring High
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Action was picked up on the river in a pot between Runtian Zhang in early position and Anthony Meranda in the small blind with 17,800 in the center.
The board read 7♠5♠A♥A♣J♣ and Meranda bet 25,000, which sent Zhang into the tank.
"If you have ace-jack you can just jam," Meranda said. "You don't have to do the whole tanking thing."
Zhang thought for a little bit longer and eventually put in the call. Meranda tabled A♠5♦ for aces full of fives, prompting Zhang to flash an A♦ before tossing his hand into the muck.
"See that's a good value bet," said Meranda after the hand. "If I just jam, he folds."
After the hand, Zhang was left with just 6,000 and was eliminated shortly after.
