Bichon Finds an Out

First in from the button, Jason Mercier made it 20,000 to play. The small blind folded, but big blind Thomas Bichon decided to move all in for 171,000. As soon as he did, Mercier said, "Can I get an exact count? Is it one seventy-three?"

Mercier already had the chips in hand, and he took 2,000 back and plunked in the call to put his fellow Team PokerStars Pro at risk. Mercier turned up {K-Spades}

, and he had Bichon's lowly {K-Clubs}

in a very bad way.

The first four cards off the deck were safe, but an ugly {4-Spades}

rivered on a board of {6-Diamonds}

to earn Bichon the unlikely three-out double.

"God, wow!" Mercier fought the words out. "F**king sick." It was no fun, but Mercier is clearly used to that sort of thing as he just leaned back in his chair smirking.

"Sorry, Jason," Bichon apologized, sounding as sincere a way as any new doubler up can. Mercier replied with something witty that we couldn't quite hear, and he'll have to fight back from 115,000 if he wants to stay in the hunt for his second EPT San Remo title.
