Hand #136: First Pot To Merson

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

There was a dead button, and Greg Merson was in the big blind. Jesse Sylvia raised to 1.2 million, and Merson made the call.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {J-Hearts} land on the turn. Both checked again, and the {10-Spades} landed on the river. Merson led for 2.35 million, and Sylvia folded.
