Merson Shows Rheem

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With about 6,000 already in the middle, Greg Merson bet 3,600 in middle position on a board of {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Chino Rheem was thinking things over on his left and told Merson he was going to let him have it, showing him {a-}{j-}. Merson showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a combo draw.

Rheem went rabbit hunting and rolled over the {10-Clubs}.
