Neil Van Der Merwe

There was around 75,000 in the pot heading to the turn. Neil Van Der Merwe was in the cutoff against Garinder Purewal in the big blind.

The board read {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Purewal check called the 33,000 bet from Van Der Merwe.

The river came the {j-Spades} and action quickly checked through. Purewal showed {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for one pair but couldn't beat Van Der Merwe's {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for top pair as Van Der Merwe moved over 1,000,000 chips.
