Hand #229: Greg Merson

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 150,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button, and opened to two million. Greg Merson defended his big blind, and the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}. Both players checked.

The {j-Diamonds} turned, and Merson led for 2.8 million. Sylvia folded, and Merson raked in the pot.
