Parry, Merulla Go to War on River
Level 23
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Robert Merulla, on the button, bet 120,000 after two players checked to him on the end. The board was 
, and Matthew Parry raised to 300,000. The other player got out of the way, and Merulla tanked for a couple of minutes before raising to 540,000.
We thought Merulla thought hard, but Parry took it to new heights, thinking aloud to himself as he tanked well into the start of the break. After about six minutes, with most of the remaining players cleared out of the area, Parry called. Merulla tabled 
for a turned full house.
