This is likely a record, but we’re still digging through the history of Merit Poker Classic to confirm.
After 6 levels, we’re now at 214 entries and counting! 🔥
🎬 One of the biggest hands of the last hour:
💰 Blinds: 600/1200/1200
Tiberiu Tirca opens from MP to 2.5K, Arun Sood calls behind, Rui Querido Martins (BTN) 3-bets to 10K. BB, Tirca, and Sood all call
Flop: 6♠️4♦️3♠️
Everyone checks, Sood fires 20K, Martins calls, Tirca shoves 90K, Sood calls for 85K, Martins folds pocket Jacks 😱
🔹 Sood: 6♣️ 3♣️
🔹 Tirca: 3♥️ 3♦️
Turn & river with no sixes: 4♦️ 10♦️
Sood is out and Tiberiu Tirca is up to around 250K.

And one more hand on the next level 800/1500/1500.
A player from the hijack opened to 3.5K, Kadir Altinbasak called from the cutoff, and Yucel Eminoglu 3-bet to 27K from the small blind. The initial raiser folded, and Altinbasak said “call” but only put in 7K.
Yucel Eminoglu:
– “It’s 27K. Not 7K. You can fold and leave 7K, or call and put in 20 more.”
Altinbasak decided to call.
Flop: 9♦️3♦️3♥️
Eminoglu fired 16K, Altinbasak shoved for around 80K, after counting down the stack, Eminoglu made the call.
🔹 Kadir Altinbasak: A♠️ 10♦️
🔹 Yucel Eminoglu: A♣️ K♠️
Turn & river: 9♣️ 2♥️
💰 Chip-chop! 🤝♠️
