Merson Doubles

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

With approximately 9,000 in the middle on the {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board, Nicolau Villa-Lobos checked to 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event winner Greg Merson. Merson, who was just on Ep. #196 of the PokerNews Podcast, fired a bet of 7,200. Villa-Lobos called.

The river was the {8-Hearts}, and Villa-Lobos checked. Merson moved all in for 29,025, and Villa-Lobos made the call.

Merson rolled over the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} for top set of kings, and Villa-Lobos mucked his hand, dropping back to 9,500 in chips. Merson moved up over 80,000.
