Merson's Queens No Good Against Sudell's Bullets
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Sergio Veloso made it 300,000 from middle position with A♣7♣ and Greg Merson called in the cutoff. Derek Sudell three-bet squeezed to 1,200,000 on the button, and Veloso four-bet to 2,000,000.
Merson then five-bet shoved for 9,075,000, Sudell committed his stack of around 5,500,000, and Veloso quickly retreated.
Derek Sudell: A♥A♦ 
Greg Merson: Q♠Q♦
Sudell had the rockets and was looking to use them to ascend the counts. A flop of 4♦10♥8♠ was clean for Sudell, and the 8♦ turn left Merson with one shot at two outs. None of which came on the 7♦ river, and Sudell doubled up as Merson's stack took a critical hit.
