Merk Calls Correctly
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
David Lopes opened to 1,300 from under the gun and Abby Merk called on the button. Jamie Dale defended his big blind to see the 4?3?5? flop.
Action checked around to Merk, who fired 2,500. Dale was the only caller and the K? turn was revealed. Dale checked and Merk bet again, this time 6,100. Dale moved all in and Merk took some time before committing the rest of her stack.
Abby Merk: 6?6? 
Jamie Dale: 8?7?
Merk held through the Q? river, earning the double through Dale.
