Cold Four-Bet For Pierre Merlin
Aggression sometimes pays off and Pierre Merlin is no stranger to either aggression or to winning big in Winamax events. In 2014, Merlin became famous in Winamax circles by taking down the Winamax Poker Tour Paris Main Event for a cool €100,000.
Merlin is right in the thick of things with under 65 players left thanks to aggressively playing a mid pocket pair from the blinds. Julien Laroze raised the action to 12,000 from the button, Bruno Michels 3-bet to 32,000 from the small blind. Undeterred, Pierre Merlin fires a cold four-bet from the big blind for 71,000. Laroze folded and Michels calls.
Here is where the aggression ended as the flop, turn, and river were all check-checked with Merlin showing 
and Michels turning over 
on a 
board. After shipping this pot worth around 160,000 chips, Merlin's stack has soared to 350,000 chips.
