Berson Wrong Person for Merson

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Greg Merson moved all in from middle position. The table folded around to Roman Berson in the big blind.

Berson stood up, asked for a count, thought about it, then grabbed his camera and shoved all in for less.

Roman Berson: QQAll in
Greg Merson: JJ

Berson was excited preflop, then dejected post-flop when it hit 210J, to give Merson a set of jacks.

The tide began to turn with the 8 on the turn, and pure joy hit with the 9 on the river, which gave Berson a straight and the huge double-up.
