A different player was sitting in the seat that was once occupied by Greg Merson in Amazon Purple, and Zal Irani was kind enough to share the details of how the 2012 WSOP Main Event Champion met his end.

From the sound of things, Merson held {a-}{a-} and three-bet after someone opened, with a third player cold-calling and three players seeing a {10-}{4-}{2-} rainbow flop. Merson bet and got action from the cold-caller. Both players checked a {3-} turn, and Merson got it all in on a {2-} river, losing to tens full.
