Merson Doubles Through Rossitto

Level 3 : 75/150, 150 ante
Greg Merson
Greg Merson

While the action of the hand is unknown, Michael Rossitto had the all in button in front of him on the river with the board showing {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Greg Merson was on the button and he called Rossitto's shove. Merson had a stack of about 16,600.

Rossitto showed his {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a missed flush draw while Merson was holding {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a full house. That allowed him to double up to just under 40,000 chips while Rossitto was left with right around 8,000.
