Daniel Merkus Eliminated in 16th Place ($32,691)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Daniel Merkus - 16th Place
Daniel Merkus - 16th Place

Jared Bleznick raised to 55,000 from under the gun, Daniel Merkus three-bet the pot (140,000) from the cutoff, and Bleznick moved all in. Merkus quickly called for around 400,000.

Bleznick: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}
Merkus: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Merkus held two suits to Bleznick's one, but Bleznick flopped Merkus dead when the dealer fanned {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}. The turn and river completed {9-Clubs}, {3-Spades}, giving Bleznick a straight flush for kicks and giggles, and Merkus was eliminated in 16th place.

"Steel wheel," Bleznick said, grinning. "That's how good a poker player I am. He has two suits, I have one, and I make a straight flush."
