Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

In the small blind Paul Merlette opened for 1,200,000. Big blind Lisa Tan called.

The dealer spread A♣J♦Q♠. Merlette continued with 1,500,000 and still Tan hung on.

On the 10♠ turn, Merlette checked. Tan fired 4,500,000. Merlette went beyond and made it 10,000,000 which was enough to make the chip leader fold.
