Deeb Buys One from Mercier

[user38449]

Action folded around to Shaun Deeb in the cutoff (essentially the button, as Sami Kelopuro was eliminated in the small blind on the hand before), and he made it 7,500 to go. Mercier made the call from the small blind and the two saw a {K-Diamonds}

flop.

Mercier passed the first option to Deeb who made a continuation bet of 13,500. Mercier called once more and the turn brought the {9-Diamonds}

.

Another check from Mercier sent the action to Deeb who upped the ante to 30,000. Mercier took one last peek at his hole cards before eventually tossing them into the muck.

"Nice bluff," Mercier chided.

"No bluff," Deeb replied as he turned over the {2-Hearts}
