Merhab Scores a Knockout

Level 3 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Andress Merheb
Andress Merheb

Nejat Erman opened to 2,500 from middle position and received calls from Andress Merheb in the cutoff, Mustafa Batum in the small blind and a mysterious player who asked to remain anonymous and only be referred to as "John Doe" in the big blind.

The flop came A?5?3? and action checked around to Erman who bet 4,000. Merheb and Batum called while Doe got out of the way.

On the 7? turn Batum checked, Erman checked and Merheb bet 16,000. Batum called and Erman folded.

The river was the 9?. Batum checked, Merheb moved all in, covering Batum's remaining stack of roughly 40,000 and Batum made the call.

Batum tabled A?6? for top pair while Merheb showed down A?5? for two pair to take down another nice pot while Batum was sent to the rail.
