Greg Merson Doubles Up

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

It was folded to the player in the small blind who moved all in. A short-stacked Greg Merson felt he was committed and made the call for his last 12,600 with {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The player in the small blind had {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

The flop came {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

That's how world champs roll.

Merson wasn't out of the water yet though as the turn was the {10-Hearts} giving the player in the small blind a ton of outs.

The river was the {J-Diamonds}, however, and Merson scores the double up.
