Steven Merrifield Triples Up

[user38449]

Steven Merrifield still has a little bit of run-good left in the tank, though he'll have to be cautious moving forward, as he used up a good chunk of it in a hand that went down moments ago.

Short-stacked, Merrifield open-shoved all in for a total of 114,000. Action then folded to Darren Keyes who moved in over the top for a total of 260,000.

"How much is that?" asked Patrick De Koster from the big blind.

"I'm all in," he said, moments later, setting up a threeway preflop showdown:

Merrifield: {A-Hearts}

Koster:

Keyes:

The board then ran out {7-Spades}

and Koster took down the main pot with two pair, eights and sevens. Keyes took down the side pot with two pair, sevens and threes.

After the chips were divvyed up, we counted Merrifield at 370,000 in chips, Keyes at 249,000 and Koster at 700,000.
