Merrifield Winning When He Needs To

Lasecki raised under the gun making it 25,500 all in, and received one caller Steven Merrifield on the button.

Lasecki: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Merrifield: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

A flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} came out giving Merrifield a set of jacks and a large advantage going to the turn-river. A {k-Diamonds} turn gave Lasecki a straight and the lead. A {10-Spades} on the river gave the hand back to Merrifield and he was able to double up.
