Shack-Harris Finishes Off Merson
We noticed 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Greg Merson was no longer seated at Table 33, and a quick check with Brandon Shack-Harris confirmed that he had been eliminated. In fact, Shack-Harris had done the deed and was kind enough to fill us in.
It actually happened toward the end of Level 9 when Merson raised to 2,000 and Shack-Harris three-bet to 5,000. Merson moved all in for roughly 25,000 and and Shack-Harris snap-called.
Shack-Harris:
Merson:
Merson received a little help when a king appeared on the flop, but he'd fail to catch a third. With that, Shack-Harris added Merson's stack to his own.
