Merson's Strategy: "Go All In and Win"
Level 9
: 400/800, 0 ante
Greg Merson just got it all in with 
for a nut flush/gutshot combo draw on a 
flop. He rivered a spade to beat the weaker flush of his opponent.
Shortly thereafter, he got it all in with 
the same opponent, who held 
. The river brought a diamond flush for Merson's opponent, but it also put three tens on the board, so Merson's full house took the pot.
"That's how you win a tournament," Merson said. "Go all in and win."
