Merson Survives Before Break
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Just as players were preparing to head off on another break, Greg Merson shoved for his last 61,000 from under the gun, an opponent in middle position re-shoved, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Greg Merson: 
Opponent: 
Merson's opponent picked up a flush draw on the 
flop while Merson made a pair on the 
turn. The 
river was safe for the 2012 Main Event champ, and Merson collected the pot before joining the rest of the field on break.
