Brett Slezak
Brett Slezak
Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Mercier from the small blind, Christopher Carlson from the big blind, Sam Soverel from early position, and Justin Liberto from the cutoff had all contributed 5,000 preflop.

On the 7♣6♠6♥ flop, Mercier led for 8,000, and only Carlson called.

The turn was the 8♠ as Mercier bet pot of 37,000, Carlson was all in 44,000, and Mercier called.

Christopher Carlson: A♥5♠4♣2♥ All in
Jason Mercier: A♦A♣5♥4♠

Both players held the bottom end of the straight, but Carlson also had ace-deuce for the low. The river was the Q♣, and Carlson got three-quarters.
