Following a flop of Qc8c2c, Joey Weissman checked to Igor Merda who bet 19,000. Weissman called.

The turn was the Jd and Weissman checked. Merda bet 23,000, Weissman called, and the 8s river completed the board. Weissman checked for a third time and Merda bet effectively 85,000-ish.

Weissman tanked for about five minutes, but ultimately opted to fold.

Merda had taken the chip lead this level from Stewart Newman, and is now up to about 530,000.

Igor Merda – 530,000 (53 bb)
Joey Weissman – 85,000 (8 bb)
