The Most Spectacular Final Table Hand in WSOP Event 2

2012 WSOP Champion @Greg Merson made the final table in the first open event ($5000 NLHE) of this summer series and, in his own words, "ran sick hot to get 4 handed'. The most spectacular run-good example was Hand 34, when he hit his one-outer and made quads on the turn!

It started as a cooler...

With blinds at 12K/24K, Merson open raised to 55,000 from UTG+1 and Nguyen reraised to 155,000 from BB.

Then it went from bad to worse, with flopped set over set:

Nguyen bets 250,000 into the 354,000 pot, and Merson calls.

The turn lived up to its name with an improbable turn of events as Merson hit his one-outer and made quads:

Nguyen' goes all in. Merson snap calls.

Merson: "I didn't even want to call the 3-bet, knew he was good."

So it went, from set over set to full house vs quads. The miracle A♦ did not show and Nguyen left the final table in 8th place...
