Mercini Wins with Ace High, PokerStars Ambassadors Soaring
Level 22
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Patricio Mercini opened to 25,000 from early position and was called by PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot in the small blind as well as Saar Wilf in the big blind.
On the 
flop, Wilf lead out for 40,000 and Mercini quickly called while Talbot got out of the way.
The 
turn slowed both players down, with each player checking the four-card straight.
The duo would do the same on the 
river and Wilf tabled 
. However, he had kicker problems and Mercini showed 
for the better ace high and the win.
On the table next door, PokerStars Ambassador Jen Shahade is cruising along and is up to 1,250,000.
