Keith Lehr Eliminated in 2nd Place ($701,757)
One hand. That's all it took to play down to a champion here on Day 4. The final hand of the tournament began with Gregory Merson opening to 280,000 from the button. Keith Lehr then three-bet to 915,000 and Merson quickly shoved his large stack. Lehr called all in and the two players turned their hands over.
Lehr: 
Merson: 
Merson's rail cheered out in joy as the 
flop was dealt, putting Merson in front. It would all change when a 
hit the turn. Merson's rail then cried for a jack and that's exactly what they got, with the 
completing the board on the river. With that, Day 4 is all over within a matter of minutes as Merson becomes our latest champion.
