Merrick Hits the River to Double Through Deeb
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Shaun Deeb raised to 16,000 from early position before John Merrick three-bet to 24,000. Deeb responded by moving all in, and Merrick called off his last 150,000.
Deeb showed 
but was dominated by the 
of Merrick. The 
flop didn't improve either player, but Deeb hit a pair of jacks on the 
turn.
Merrick needed to hit a queen or a ten for a straight to stay alive and was saved when the 
came on the river.
He doubled to 350,000, while Deeb was left with 280,000.
