Mercier's Bluff Fails

Level 5 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Phillipp Gruissem raised to 13,000 and Paul Phua decided to make the call. Jason Mercier three-bet to 32,800 and Gruissem folded his cards. Phua hesitated for a few seconds and then he made the call.

The flop brought out {6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Phua check-called 27,300. On the turn the {4-Spades} hit and both players checked.

The river brought the {A-Spades} and Phua checked again. This time Mercier bet 62,300 and right at that time we saw Andrew Robl all in on the other table. By the time we came back the hand was done and Fabian Quoss told us that Mercier had shown {K-}{J-} and lost to Phua's {5-}{5-}.
