Merson Drags a Monster
Just the tail end of a hand here, but one worth mentioning.
The board shows , and there's about 60,000 in the pot. Greg Merson has 62,000 chips out in front of him, though it's not clear whether that amount is a bet or a raise with the previous bets already pulled in. Regardless, Sebastian Saffari is the man with the decision, and he spends a long while in the tank before shaking his head and making the call.
Merson tables for the second-nut flush, and Saffari mucks.
Merson is now among the chip leaders, sitting pretty with a stack of nearly 400,000.
Greg Merson - 391,000
Sebastian Saffari - 72,000
