Hand #340: Queen High for Merson

Level 41 : 800,000/1,600,000, 200,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia had the button to start this hand. He folded, and Jake Balsiger called from the small blind. Greg Merson checked his option in the big blind, and the flop came down {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn, and both players checked. The river completed the board with the {3-Spades}, and both players checked again. Merson showed the {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and won the pot.
