Glaser and Mertens Double
Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Hendrik Mertens just flat-called a raise out of the big blind and check-shoved the 
flop for 69,000. Periklis Charmpilas on the button reluctantly called and sighed when he was shown the 
by the Dutchman. Charmpilas only had 
and the 
turn locked up the double for Mertens, which made the 
river a formality.
Charmpilas ran out of chips shortly after, while another short stack found a double. Benny Glaser got it in from the small blind with 
and Henri Koivisto on the button called with 
. The board ran out 
to give the three-time WSOP bracelet winner new hope for a second cash in Dublin on his first trip to Ireland.
