Vengrin Doubles Through Mercier
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 9,000 ante
Young Ko raised under the gun to 15,000 and Jason Mercier called from the small blind.
Matt Vengrin three-bet jammed from the big blind for 106,000.
Ko folded the action back to Mercier who thought briefly before putting in a call.
Both Mercier and Vengrin drew one card each and turned the other four over to sweat the squeeze.
Matt Vengrin: 9?5?4?3?
Jason Mercier: 7?6?4?2?
Mercier went to the draw ahead but upon squeezing his fifth card, he turned over the 4?, pairing his four and giving Vengrin great odds to win as long as he could avoid pairing his nine or five.
Vengrin squeezed and turned over the 6?, good for a full double.
