"Oh, Hey!"

Jason Mercier (Day 2) - "Oh, Hey!"
Jason Mercier (Day 2) - "Oh, Hey!"

Sorel Mizzi opened to 20,000 from early position, and the action folded to Jason Mercier in the small blind. Thinking he was the first to open the pot, Mercier grabbed 24,000 and tossed it in front of him. Andrey Gulyy, who was in the big blind, pointed to Mizzi's raise and mucked his hand.

"Oh," Mercier said surprised. "Hey!"

The two shared a laugh, and because Mercier's action was a call, the dealer fanned {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. The rest of the hand was played out in utter silence.

Mercier tapped the felt, and Mizzi continued for 16,000. Mercier looked down at his chips, assembled a handful, and check-raised to 49,000. Mizzi thought for less than 30 seconds, and called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and Mercier opted to lead out for 84,000. Mizzi tank-called.

The river was the {k-Hearts}, and Mercier grabbed all of the red T25,000 chips sitting on top of his stack. He added a half dozen blue T5,000 chips, then tossed 223,000 forward. Mizzi asked for the amount, studied the board, studied Mercier, then folded.

"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhew," Mercier blurted.

He wasn't kidding either. After being egged on by his tablemates - especially Mizzi - Mercier showed the bluff: {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.
