Vengrin Doubles Through Mercier
Niveau 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 9,000 ante
Young Ko raised under the gun to 15,000 and Jason Mercier called from the small blind.
Matt Vengrin three-bet jammed from the big blind for 106,000.
Ko folded the action back to Mercier who thought briefly before putting in a call.
Both Mercier and Vengrin drew one card each and turned the other four over to sweat the squeeze.
Matt Vengrin: 9♠5♥4♠3♠
Jason Mercier: 7♣6♣4♥2♣
Mercier went to the draw ahead but upon squeezing his fifth card, he turned over the 4♣, pairing his four and giving Vengrin great odds to win as long as he could avoid pairing his nine or five.
Vengrin squeezed and turned over the 6♥, good for a full double.
