Merson Takes It Down on the Turn

John Esposito opened for 500,000 from the hijack and Greg Merson defended from the big blind. The {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop saw Merson bet 650,000, Esposito call and the {10-Spades} turn. Merson slowed down with a check, but proceeded to check-raise Esposito's bet up to 3.3 million. The latter quickly folded and it was on to the next hand.
