Merwick Chips Up

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

On the {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Joel Merwick checked and the next player bet 400. A third player in the hand called and then action fell back on Merwick. He check-raised to 1,200. The original bettor folded and the flat-caller made the call.

The river completed the board with the {7-Clubs} and Merwick fired 1,750. His opponent folded and Merwick chipped up to 6,500 in chips.
