Merson Over a Million

Artur Koren opens to 28,000 from middle position, and Jack Schanbacher calls in the small blind. In the big, Greg Merson squeezes in a reraise to 79,000, and only Koren calls to proceed.

The flop comes    , and Merson check-calls another 63,000 from Koren. Both men check the   turn. The river is the  , and Merson leads out for 113,000. Koren calls.

Merson shows   , and top pair is good. He's now moved ahead of Koren and up over the million-chip mark for the first time.

Greg Merson - 1,140,000 (95 bb)
Artur Koren - 955,000 (79 bb)
