Merini Outpairs Fortuna to Win Pot
Nível 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Day 1b of the SISMAX Main Event is now so busy that play has spilled over into a second card room. On table 102, Ismail Merini raised the button to 2,700 and was called by the small blind and Sylwester Fortuna in the big blind.
The flop came 5♣6♠9♦ and action checked to Merini, who made it 5,000 to go. The small blind folded and Fortuna made the call.
The turn was the K♣ and Fortuna switched up the action, leading out for 11,000, which Merini called.
The river came the 4♦ and both players checked. Fortuna showed 5♥7♥ for a pair of fives. Merini flipped over K♥10♣ for a pair of kings and took down the pot.
