Brutal Cooler Sends Merk to the Rail

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Abby Merk
Abby Merk

Abby Merk raised from the cutoff, receiving calls from David Williamson on the button and Assaf Zeharia, in the big blind.

The 10?7?4? flop saw the action check to Merk, who continued for 800. Both opponents called.

The 8? turn saw Zeharia check. Merk bet again, this time for 2,500. Williamson put in a raise to 6,000 and Zeharia called. The action was back on Merk who bumped it up to 18,000. Williamson stepped aside and Zeharia moved all in.

Merk went deep into the tank, eventually making the call for her tournament life.

Abby Merk: 6?5? All in
Assaf Zeharia: J?9?

Both players had turned a straight, but Zeharia had the superior of the two holdings. The K? river couldn't save Merk and she was sent to the rail.
