Runner-Runner Fatal for Meran
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Luis Faria raised it up from under the gun and Alberto Meran peeled from the big blind. On the 
flop, Meran checked, Faria bet 180,000, Meran check-raised all in for 1,700,000 and Faria called it off after thinking for quite a while.
Alberto Meran: 
Luis Faria: 
Meran was miles ahead with his pair of queens but received an extra sweat on the turn when the 
hit the felt. Faria needed a nine of heart to end Meran's run in the National and did just that as the 
rolled off on the river. Meran finished in 43rd place and received �9,500.
Also recently departed from the Day 3 field is the U.K.'s Alex Lindop, who also banked �9,500.
