Merson vs. Shack-Harris: One Will Double
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We picked up the action with approximately 11,000 in the pot on a flop of 
. 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Greg Merson bet 8,500 from the small blind, Brandon Shack-Harris called from the big, and the dealer burned and turned the 
.
Merson announced that he was all in and Shack-Harris snap-called off for 39,200.
Merson: 
Shack-Harris: 
Both players held an overpair to the board, but Shack-Harris' was best. The 
river failed to help Merson, and Shack-Harris doubled through the former champ.
