Merson Wasting No Time

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Greg Merson and Roman Valerstein got involved in a pot the very first hand of the deck. There was close to 4,000 in the pot on the river on the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board.

Valerstein checked and Merson tossed out a bet of 2,500. Valerstein folded and Merson was kind enough to turn over his {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. "I had to show you the very first hand" Merson said.

"I appreciate you showing me that" replied Valerstein and Merson scooped the pot.
