Split Pot Between Merlin And Chaitin

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Natan Chaitin opened from middle position, and Pierre Merlin in the big blind was the only player to call to see 4?J?A?.

Chaitin bet 500 on this flop, and Merlin raised to 1,600. Chaitin decided to three-bet to 4,500. And after a few seconds, Merlin called.

The turn was the 5?, and Chaitin fired a second barrel of 5,000. Merlin check-called. However, the action slowed down on the river 5?, as both players checked.

Chaitin revealed A?4? for two pairs, which he first hit on the flop and then on the river. Merlin showed A?7? for a missed flush draw, but he also had the same two pairs as Chaitin, resulting in a split pot.
