Big Double for Merlin
Among the bigger stacks in Miranda are [Removed:153], Ramin Hajiyev, and Michael Rossitto. Dylan Nguyen had all of them beat by far, but he just took a hit as Pierre Merlin doubled through him.
Merlin raised to 2,500 from the button and both players in the blinds, including Nguyen, called. On the 
flop, the action checked to Merlin and he continued for 3,400. The small blind folded, but Nguyen had other plans and check-raised to 10,000, which Merlin called.
After the 
turn, Nguyen bet 12,800 and picked up a call by Merlin before checking the 
on the river. Merlin bet 27,000 with 22,000 behind and called the check-raise shove of Nguyen with 
for the jack-high straight. Nguyen only had 
for two pair and had to forteit almost one third of his big stack.
