Merini Outpairs Fortuna to Win Pot
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Day 1b of the SISMAX Main Event is now so busy that play has spilled over into a second card room. On table 102, Ismail Merini raised the button to 2,700 and was called by the small blind and Sylwester Fortuna in the big blind.
The flop came 5?6?9? and action checked to Merini, who made it 5,000 to go. The small blind folded and Fortuna made the call.
The turn was the K? and Fortuna switched up the action, leading out for 11,000, which Merini called.
The river came the 4? and both players checked. Fortuna showed 5?7? for a pair of fives. Merini flipped over K?10? for a pair of kings and took down the pot.
