Merlin Wins a Nice Pot

Level 8 : 250/500, 75 ante

According to Pierre Merlin, he opened in middle position for 1,200 and the player in the big blind defended.

The flop came {10-}{9-}{7-} and the big blind player check-called Merlin's continuation bet.

On the {4-} turn, after another check, Merlin shoved all in and his opponent called with a stack worth 8,000.

Merlin had the dominating hand with {q-}{q-} against {j-}{9-} for his opponent. The river bricked and Martini won the pot.
