Boutin Throws in the Flag, Merzhinskii Continues to Climb Late
Level 17
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Charles La Boissonniere opened to 175,000 from the hijack, Louis Boutin called on the button and Aleksandr Merzhinskii stuck around from the small blind.
The dealer flipped over on the flop and action checked to Boutin who bet 325,000. Merzhinskii check-raised to 850,000 and only Boutin called to see the turn card.
Merzhinskii bet 750,000 and Boutin quickly folded, sending the large pot to the Russian.
