Merksick Gets the Best of Wong

Steve Wong raised pre-flop from under the gun and was called by big blind Tony Merksick, who said that he told a friend he would never play "this hand". Merksick check-called a bet on the flop and check-called again on the turn. At the river, with the board showing {8-Clubs} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, Merksick led into Wong. Wong made a crying call and was shown a very strong two-way hand, {a-Clubs} {k-Clubs} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts}. Merksick had the nut flush and the second nut low. Wong couldn't beat either hand.
