Merson Can't Get Over the Hille

Folded to Greg Merson in the small blind and Elisabeth Hille in the big blind, the two players would begin a raising war until all the chips were in preflop. It was Hille at risk and this is how the two player's cards looked.

Hille: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Merson: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Hille was looking good to double up and that would end up being the case, with the {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board ensuring that Hille raked in the big pot.
