World Champ No More
The reigning WSOP Main Event champion has just been eliminated late here on Day 2 of the GDAM Main Event. Merson's final hand behan when Igor Kurganov opened the hijack to 400,000. Merson called out of the big blind and the dealer flipped over a 
flop.
Merson checked here and Kurganov led for 500,000. Back on Merson and he went deep into the tank before announcing an all in. It was around 4 million to call, which Kurganov did quick smart, prompting the two players to turn their hands over.
Merson: 
Kurganov: 
Merson got out of his seat at the sight of Kurganov's superior hand and then made his way out of the tournament area when a 
turn and a 
river completed the board. Kurganov was down to under 2 million not too long ago, but is now near the top of the chip leader board with an eight-figure chip stack.
