Harrison Gimbel raised from middle position, Greg Merson three-bet to 8,400 two spots to his left in the hijack, and the action folded back to Gimbel. The 2010 PCA Main Event champion four-bet shoved for effectively 76,100, and Merson went deep into the tank.
"I don't think I'm folding," he said, counting down his stack.
After a minute or so of deliberation, he committed the rest of his stack and revealed . He dominated Gimbel's .

Once the dealer was finished, he asked Merson to confirm the count.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," Merson told him, leading the entire table to break out into laughter.
