Merson Applies the Pressure
Level 4
: 250/500, 75 ante
Michael Tran raised to 1,300 from early position and Vanessa Rousso called from the cutoff. Greg Merson then three-bet to 5,500 from the small blind, Tran called, and Rousso got out of the way. When the flop came down 
, Merson continued for 7,500, Tran called, and the both players checked the 
turn.
The 
river saw Merson return to betting, and this time his bet of 10,000 did the trick as Tran released his hand.
