The Champ Takes a Punch

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The action folded to Greg Merson, who raised to 600 out of the small blind. The player in the big blind three-bet to 2,000, Merson called, and the flop fell {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}. Merson check-called a bet of 2,000, and both players checked on the turn ({q-Clubs}) and the river ({6-Spades}).

Merson showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for ace-high, but it was no good against his opponent's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for kings and queens.
