Merson Quickly Spins Up a Stack
Level 7
: 300/500, 500 ante
It was just moments after Greg Merson took his seat on Day 1b that he had already nearly doubled his starting stack. His early heater wasn't over yet when four players saw a flop for 1,000 apiece. The flop came 
and the action checked to the preflop raiser who bet 2,000 and only Merson called from the cutoff.
The turn was the 
and Merson was faced with another bet of 3,500 which he called again. The 
double-paired the board on the river and the action was checked to Merson this time. He tossed in a bet of 6,000 and his opponent looked him up. Merson flipped over 
for the best full house to claim another pot.
