Margolin Check-Raises Mercier and Torres
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Just before the last break, the following hand occurred between Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, Timur Margolin, and Francisco Torres.
The action folded to Mercier preflop and he raised to 400 from middle position. In the cutoff seat, Timor Margolin reraised to 1,100, and then Francisco Torres called from the button. After the blinds folded, Mercier made the call as well.
The flop came down 
, and Mercier checked. Margolin also checked, despite three-betting preflop, and then Torres fired 2,200. After Mercier called, Margolin put in a check-raise to 8,100. Torres folded quickly, and Mercier did the same, albeit after a few moments of thought, and Margolin won the pot.
