Back and Forth

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Adriaan Jacobs raised to 2,400,000 from the button, and Paul Merlette opted to check. They both checked through the 879 flop and the 7 on the turn to the 3 on the river. Merlette bet 5,000,000. Jacobs called but mucked when Merlette tabled the 74 for trip sevens.

Two hands later, Jacobs raised again for Merlette to come along. The flop came A8Q, and Merlette check-called the 1,500,000 bet of Jacobs. They both checked through the 10 on the turn and the A on the river. Merlette claimed the pot with the K3 for king-high.

On the next hand, Merlette limped in from the button, and Jacobs checked. They both checked through the AJ9 flop to the 2 on the turn. Merlette bet 2,500,000, and Jacobs check-called. The river completed the board with the 3, and both players checked again.

"Eight-high," Merlette said. Jacobs showed 52 for a pair of deuces and the pot.
