2012 Final Table Rematch
Steve Gee, a final tablist at last year's Main Event, has recently been moved to Greg Merson's table and is now sitting directly next to the man who finished first at that table. Russell Thomas, who finished fourth in 2012, is sitting at the next table over. Merson and Gee wasted in little time in starting to battle.
Merson raised to 12,000 preflop, Steve Gee called, and Blake Yu called from the big blind. The dealer spread 
on the flop, and Yu and Merson both checked. Gee bet 18,000, and only Merson called. Both players checked the 
on the turn, and then the river brought the 
. Merson checked, and Gee bet 40,000. Merson carefully thought through the situation, then slid his cards toward the dealer. Gee took the pot, no doubt planning to match Merson's success from last year over the next few days.
