Hille Pushes Out Merson

After action folded to him on the button, Greg Merson limped and Elisabeth Hille checked her option from the big blind. The latter checked the {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Merson bet 85,000, and Hille check-raised to 300,000.

Not to be outdone, Merson made it 515,000 to go, but Hille was not deterred and four-bet 850,000. Merson quickly folded and it was off to the next hand.
