Merson Scores Early Pot
Blinds: 50/100/10
Greg "DustedYou" Merson opened the action to 265 from middle position and only Raman "Acrogum" Afanasenka made the call in the small blind.
The flop came 
, Afanasenka checked and Merson continued for 255. Afanasenka elected on a check-raise to 665 and Merson came along.
On the 
turn Afanasenka kept up the aggression with a bet of 1,020 and without much thought, Merson raised to 3,740. Afanasenka went into the tank but eventually let his hand go and the chips were sent to the 2012 Main Event Champion.
