Cernuto Grants a Little Double
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Jason Mercier raised to 725 from early position, and John Cernuto called on the button. The small blind called as well, but the big blind stacked up his 4,900 remaining chips and pushed them across the line. Mercier asked for the count, tanked for a minute, and folded, Cernuto made the call, and the small blind ducked out of the way.
Showdown
Cernuto: 
Big blind: 
The flop came 
, and the big blind coaxed, "Come on. Numbers, not pictures. Numbers, not pictures."
The dealer was listening, dealing a safe turn 
and river 
to earn him the double.
Cernuto still has about 51,000 to work with.
