Merheb Wins a Flip to Survive
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Tudorel Costache raised to 6,000 in middle position and Jovan Kenjic called on the button before Andress Merheb moved all in for 21,000 in the small blind. Dawid Drobinski then reshoved from the big blind and Costache and Kenjic both got out of the way.
Andress Merheb: A♣K♣
Dawid Drobinski: 10♣10♠
Merheb was flipping for his tournament life as the flop came K♦A♠J♥, giving him top two pair. Drobinski couldn't catch up on the 8♦ turn or J♦ river and Merheb doubled up.
