Merson Doubles Through Gruissem

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Greg Merson (Day 1)
Greg Merson (Day 1)

With about 90,000 in chips in the middle on the {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board, Philipp Gruissem fired a bet of 35,000. Greg Merson raised all in for 107,600, and Gruissem went into the tank.

"Why would you shove?" he questioned after a minute or two of thought. "It makes no sense."

Another minute or two passed, and then Gruissem called with the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Merson had the {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair, but needed to dodge a few outs that Gruissem had.

The river completed the board with the {10-Hearts}, and Merson successfully doubled to a little over 300,000 in chips. Gruissem was knocked back under 300,000, down to about 270,000.
