Merlin Conjures Up Queens
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Yassine Baqal opened to 700,000 from the cutoff and was called by Pierre Merlin and Adrian Andritz from the button and big blind.
Andritz looked liked he wanted to move his last 1,550,000 into the middle but opted to check on the 10?8?5? flop. Baqal bet 700,000 and only Merlin called.
Baqal fired out another 1,450,000 on the A? turn and was called once more.
The 3? river then checked through to showdown.
Baqal tabled 9?9? but was bested by Merlin's Q?Q?.
