Amin Finds Half on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Rishi Amin opened to 75,000 under the gun and was called by Jason Mercier on his left and Nick Guagenti in the big blind.
On the J♠2♠2♦ flop, Amin bet 80,000 and only Mercier called.
The turn was the 5♠ a Amin bet the pot of 420,000, Mercier jammed for 440,000, and Amin called.
Jason Mercier: A♥J♥7♦2♥
Rishi Amin: A♠K♣8♣6♠
Amin had the nut flush but it was no good against the flopped full house of Mercier. However, the river was the 3♦, and Amin was able to play ace-six for low, giving him half the pot.
