Mercier's Rush

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier just hit a nice rush and went from 17,200 to 100,000 in chips. First, Mercier tripled up, and then he busted Mike Watson on the next hand.

On the first hand, Mercier was all in for 17,200 with the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} against two players — one that held the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and another with the {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The board ran out {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, and Mercier successfully tripled up. to over 50,000.

On the next hand, Mercier and Watson found all the money in preflop. Mercier had the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and Watson had the {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The board ran out {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and Mercier won the pot to bust Watson.
