Mercier Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Aces and Stay Alive

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After Andrew Chen opened with a raise from middle position, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier three-bet jammed for 9,300 total from the hijack. Action folded back to Chen, who snap-called.

Chen: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Mercier: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Mercier couldn't help but laugh, and watched as the flop fell {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Mercier needed to go runner-runner to survive, and the {J-Diamonds} turn made it a real possibility by giving him both Broadway and flush draws.

Well, you've seen the title to this post, so you can guess what happened. The dealer burned and put out the {7-Diamonds}!

"Gotta make sure you're suited," Mercier said with a big smile.
