Merlette Bluff Attempt Gone Bad
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Xingwei Chen raised from the cutoff to 2,000,000, and Paul Merlette called from the big blind. The flop was 4♥K♥10♦, and Merlette checked. Chen bet 1,500,000, and Merlette called.
On the turn 8♦, both players checked.
On the river K♣, Merlette took his shot and bet 4,500,000, and Chen thought for a short time and called.
Merlette flipped over J♦9♥ with a frown, and Chen turned over A♠4♦ for two pair.
Adriaan Jacobs stated, "Geez, nice river call, dude."
