Former Main Event champion Greg Merson bet 1,200 when an opponent checked to him on a board of {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Merson's opponent made the call, and the river was the {5-Clubs}. After another check, Merson upped the heat considerably with 4,800. His opponent looked at him suspiciously, thought for about a minute, and tossed a light blue T5000 chip into the middle. Merson quickly rolled over {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for trip fours, and he's wasted no time building a sizable early stack.
