Second Pair Is Good For Merlo
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ex Warcraft professional player Yoan Merlo opened to 900 from early position. Everybody else at the table folded, except for the big blind, who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2?Q?6? that both players checked. Then the 9? appeared on the turn. The small blind threw a single chip of 1,000 in front of him, and Merlo matched the bet with 1,000 as well.
On the river 3? and both players checked once more. The small blind revealed 4?4?, but it wasn't enough as Merlo showed A?9? for a pair of nines.
