Hand #175: Greg Merson

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button, and opened to 1.6 million. Greg Merson defended his big blind, and the flop fell {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Merson checked, Sylvia continued for 1.7 million, and Merson called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, Merson checked again, and Sylvia checked behind.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board, both players checked again, and Merson tabled {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a pair of sixes.

They were good.
