Michael Merisier called from middle position and was all in for 25,000. Gavin O’Rourke raised to 150,000 from a couple seats over and everybody else got out of the way.

Merisier showed Kh6h and was up against O’Rourke’s QhQc.

The board ran out Ks9c7c4d2d and Merisier more than doubled up.

A couple hands later, he was in the big blind and Timothy Pettus raised from under the gun. Merisier called and was all in for 100,000.

Merisier showed QcJc and was dominated by Pettus’ AsQh.

The flop was Jh2h2c, giving Merisier the best hand. The turn was the Jd, which left Pettus drawing dead to the Qs river.

Michael Merisier – 260,000
