Its A Strange Game Sometimes

Levent Mercan had just moved his short stack of 33,000 into the middle and everyone folded. In the very next hand Mercan just open limped and everyone eyed him with suspicion. Despite this everyone just called and as they did Mercan intimated to everyone that they should have moved in because his stack was short!

Flop: [9d] [9c] [8d]

All four players check.

Turn: [7s]

Pierre Canali moves all-in from the small blind for 27,000 and everyone folds.

Canali – 36,000
Mercan – 30,000
