Mercier Picks One Up

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Like fellow Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier is coming off a final table appearance in the €10,000 Main Event from yesterday. Unlike Negreanu, though, Mercier has arrived in the €100,000 Super High Roller after a night of partying thanks to the PokerStars player party. When asked how the party was, Mercier responded by simply saying, "Sick!"

After checking the {J-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board, Mercier was faced with a bet of 17,600 from Viktor Blom. Mercier tanked, made the call, then checked the {7-Clubs} river. Blom checked behind and showed the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Mercier had him beat with the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and raked in the pot.
