Merson and Bogarin Both Flop Top Pair
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Greg Merson limped in with A♣Q♣ from middle position and Derek Sudell also called from the hijack with K♦10♦. Jose Bogarin checked his option in the big blind with Q♦6♣.
They saw a flop of 8♦7♠Q♠, which checked around to the 2♦ on the turn. When it got to Merson, he fired out 700,000 and only Sudell called.
A A♠ on the river brought in the front door flush draw, but neither player held a spade in their hand. Merson went with a sizing of 1,300,000, which drew a quick fold out of Sudell.
