On hand number two Merson raised from the button to 200,000, and Lehr moved all in. Merson folded.

Lehr mixed it up on the third hand, he limped on the button and Merson raised it up to 400,000. Lehr moved all in, and Merson folded.

Lehr got a walk on the fourth hand, and he's now back up to 3.8 million chips.
