Hand #23-- Steve Merrifield Doubles Through Brent Hanks

Brent Hanks raised to 115,000 and Steve Merrifield made the call from the small blind. The flop came {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {K-Clubs} and Merrifield bet 200,000. Hanks looked Merrfield over before announcing a raise of another 325,000. Merrifield moved all in and Hanks called, showing {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} to Merrifield's {7-Spades} {8-Spades}. The {9-Hearts} hit on the turn, giving Merrifield no help, but on the river the {Q-Spades} spiked and Merrifield made his flush. "That's the suckout, baby!" Merrifield said to his friends in the stands as he doubled up.
