Gonzalez Doubles; Merson Crippled

We didn't catch all the action but we just saw Fabrizio Gonzalez being pushed a huge pot courtesy of Greg Merson. The former had {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} laid out in front of him on a {3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board, while the latter held {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. It was an action flop, so we're guessing that's when the chip went in.

After all was said and done, Gonzalez had doubled to 3 million while Meson was left with just 50,000. Merson went on to double the very next hand, but he is still on an extremely short stack.
