[user253757]

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Merulla Went With His Instinct, but the Call Proved to Be Ill-Timed

A pot of 200,000 or more was piled in the middle of the table when Vladislav Mezheritsky slid a single stack of twenty baby blue T5000 chips forward for a half-pot sized bet.

The 100,000 wager was a sizable one for Mezheritsky, as he only had about 155,000 left to his name, but Merulla could afford to make the call with about 400,000 to work with.

Merulla tanked for more than three minutes before making his decision, but when he tossed a single baby blue forward for the call, Mezheritsky immediately table the nuts with . He had turned the wheel straight and Merulla's read proved to be off base, so he slowly cut out the chips he lost and pushed them to the dealer.
