Mercurio Adds Some More With Good Flop

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Matthew Mercurio, who knocked out a similarly-stacked opponent with a straight versus nut flush draw earlier today, just took down another big pot to add to his stack.

Mercurio was in the small blind and called a bet of 3,500 from an opponent in middle position on a flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Mercurio check-called another bet of 4,500.

The river came the {3-Spades} and Mercurio checked once again. This time his opponent checked behind and Mercurio showed {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for two pair, eights and sevens, which was good enough to take the pot.

"He had a flush draw, too. Jesus," a tablemate said upon seeing how much the flop had helped Mercurio.
