Matthew Mendez Triples Up

Ronit Chamani raises from middle position to 35,000, Vladislav Mezheritsky reraises from the hijack to 82,000, and Matthew Mendez moves all in from the big blind for 100,000. Chamani clarifies that the all-in isn’t enough to reopen the action for Mezheritsky, and Chamani calls. Mezheritsky calls as well.

The flop comes [7s3d2h], Chamani checks, Mezheritsky bets 126,000 into the dry side pot, and Chamani folds.

Mezheritsky shows [10c10d], but everyone is shocked to see Mendez turn over [7d2s] — two pair. Mendez needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn is the [6c], the river is the [4s], and Mendez wins the pot with his two pair to stay alive and triple up in chips.

Matthew Mendez  –  325,000  (20 bb)
Vladislav Mezheritsky  –  451,000  (28 bb)
Ronit Chamani  –  824,000  (51 bb)
