Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

This hand was picked up on the flop of 6♦9♣A♦. Joe Cada checked his option out of the big blind before Greg Merson put out a bet of 1,500 from middle position. Joshua Abady called from the hijack, but Jeremy Bowman had other plans as he re-raised to 3,000 on the button.

Cada got out of the way with a fold. Merson raised the price even further when he three-bet to 8,000. Abady folded, while Bowman stayed in the hand with a call.

The J♥ turn led to a check from Merson. Bowman took the initiative with a wager of 11,000. Merson wasted little time making the fold as Bowman took down the pot.
