Big Double for Merlin

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Among the bigger stacks in Miranda are [Removed:153], Ramin Hajiyev, and Michael Rossitto. Dylan Nguyen had all of them beat by far, but he just took a hit as Pierre Merlin doubled through him.

Merlin raised to 2,500 from the button and both players in the blinds, including Nguyen, called. On the {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Merlin and he continued for 3,400. The small blind folded, but Nguyen had other plans and check-raised to 10,000, which Merlin called.

After the {10-Clubs} turn, Nguyen bet 12,800 and picked up a call by Merlin before checking the {K-Diamonds} on the river. Merlin bet 27,000 with 22,000 behind and called the check-raise shove of Nguyen with {J-Spades}{8-Hearts} for the jack-high straight. Nguyen only had {K-}{9-} for two pair and had to forteit almost one third of his big stack.
