Merkow Wins with Choctaw Nuts
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a limped pot, the flop came and after his opponent, Smith Collins checked, Gregg Merkow bet 3,500 and Collins called.
The turn was the and both players checked.
But on the river Merkow bet 6,500 and his Smith folded.
"Should I show them what I have?" Merkow asked the guy next to him.
"Of course you should," the player replied.
And with that Merkow showed the table the stone-cold Choctaw Nuts for those that are familiar with the North Texas/Oklahoma term
