Ciocan Flips Mercini to the Rail
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Catalin-Iulian Ciocan raised to 4,000 from early position before Patricio Mercini stuck in his last 42,500 from the big blind. Ciocan tanked for a moment before calling.
Patricio Mercini: A♣K♥
Catalin-Iulian Ciocan: 10♦10♥
Mercini was flipping against Ciocan's pocket pair but found no reprieve on the 9♦9♠2♣8♠ board. He was already standing up from his seat preparing to make his exit by the time the dealer turned over the 3♠ river, cementing his elimination.
"You're killing these guys," tablemate Viet Vo told Ciocan following the hand.
