Merson Shoves, Collects

Oct 2, 2017

Greg Merson

We arrive on the flop after what appears to have been an Anthony Perry opening raise that was called by Greg Merson, Perry checks at the sight of the Club 5Spade 3Spade 5 board. Merson acts methodically as he bets 6,500, and Perry calls. The turn is the Club J and Perry checks again, and Merson again bets — 9,000 this time. Perry calls.

The river is the Heart 5 and Perry checks a third time. Merson sits quietly about a half-minute, then pushes all in with his last 19,000. Perry considers what to do for a full minute, looking back at his stack which only barely covers the bet, and finally folds.

Greg Merson – 63,000 (32 bb)
Anthony Perry – 25,000 (13 bb)
