Merson Eliminated
Level 1
: 150/300, 0 ante
With the board reading 
and around 26,000 in the pot, Greg Merson opted to move all in for his last 38,825 in chip. His opponent in the hand was Don Nguyen, who tanked over his decision for a few minutes, before finally making the call.
Merson reluctantly turned over his 
for king-high, before Nguyen showed his 
for two-pair, and the winning hand.
It is and early exit for Merson, who took down the $10,000 version of this event last year, before going on to be crowned the WSOP Main Event champion!
