Meragal "Running Good" In Multi-Way Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The action was picked up in a three-way pot with close to 50,000 in the middle on a flop of 6♣5♥3♦. Kiryl Asaulenka led out from the small blind to 14,000 and both Parker Talbot in the cutoff and Maduka Meragal on the button made the call.
The J♥ hit the turn and action checked around to Meragal who cut out a bet of 40,000. Asaulenka called and Talbot got out of the way.
The 9♣ completed the board and Asaulenka checked again to Meragal who sized to 60,000. Without much thought, Asaulenka made the call and was shown the bad news when Meragal tabled J♣J♠ for top set to scoop the sizable pot and move into the chip lead.
"Running good," said Talbot as Meragal stacked up his tower of chips with a smile.
