Level 33: 100,000/200,000 (200,000)
Entries: 13/2045
Dennis Mercier raised under the gun to 475,000 and faced a 3-bet from Italy’s Antonio Alba to 1.3 million. After everyone else folded, Mercier made the call, and the action-packed flop came J♦5♥8♥.
Mercier led with a bet of 650,000, and Alba responded by raising to 1.4 million, which Mercier called. With 6 million already in the pot, the turn brought the 4♦, and Mercier led again with 1,150,000. Alba simply called, bringing the pot to a staggering size.
The river was the A♠, and Mercier fired a third bullet, betting 1,430,000. Alba took his time before slamming down his chips for the call.
In the showdown:
- Dennis Mercier: A♦K♥ (pair of aces on the river)
- Antonio Alba: K♠K♦ (pocket kings)
With a look of frustration, Alba tossed his cards, and Mercier claimed the massive 11,060,000 pot just seven minutes after the other players had left for their 20-minute break.
Dennis Mercier – 14,700,000
Antonio Alba – 2,800,000
