Hand #134: Merson Limps the Button

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Greg Merson had the button. He limped in, then Jesse Sylvia completed from the small blind. Russell Thomas was in the big blind and checked to allow for a three-handed flop of {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}. Sylvia and Thomas checked before Merson bet 1.2 million. Sylvia folded, and Thomas also gave it up.
