Meragal "Running Good" In Multi-Way Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The action was picked up in a three-way pot with close to 50,000 in the middle on a flop of 6?5?3?. Kiryl Asaulenka led out from the small blind to 14,000 and both Parker Talbot in the cutoff and Maduka Meragal on the button made the call.
The J? hit the turn and action checked around to Meragal who cut out a bet of 40,000. Asaulenka called and Talbot got out of the way.
The 9? completed the board and Asaulenka checked again to Meragal who sized to 60,000. Without much thought, Asaulenka made the call and was shown the bad news when Meragal tabled J?J? for top set to scoop the sizable pot and move into the chip lead.
"Running good," said Talbot as Meragal stacked up his tower of chips with a smile.
