Lobzhanidze Busts Merson
Day 1a chip leader Maxim Lobzhanidze has just busted 2012 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Merson. He explained the hand to us via a translation from his brother Andrey Lobzhanidze, who Merson happened to have busted earlier in the day.
According to Lobzhanidze, the chips got into the middle with the board reading 
with two spades. Merson was ahead with 
against Lobzhanidze's 
, but the 
river made Lobzhanidze a flush to end Merson's PCA Main Event.
