Merrifield's Might

With the field narrowing down small stacks are finding no other move to make other than moving all in preflop and hoping to double up and the bigger stacks are exploiting them winning these pots and adding ammunition to their arsenal. Such was the case when Steven Merrifield called the all in of his short stacked opponent with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

Merrifield was ahead by a fairly large margin as his opponent held {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The cards came out in Merrifield's favor though {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and Merrifield eliminated another opponent.
