Pierre Merlin Doubles Off Firoz Mangroe

Helmut Phung has a raise of 43,000 in front of him from the small blind before Quentin Roussey moves all in from the button. Phung, with around 125,000 remaining, tanks for a minute before folding.

“Pocket sevens,” tablemate Matin Talebi says.

“Nine-six suited,” Roussey replies.

“No, pocket sevens. Nine-six is for me,” Talebi adds.

A few hands later at this table, Pierre Merlin moves all in for 98,000 in the small blind and Firoz Mangroe calls in early position.
