Jason Mercier Active

Working in contrast to the predominant style, EPT San Remo champion Jason Mercier has been involved in a number of pots here early. In recent action, Mercier opened the action with a raise to 150 from early position. A player in late position came along to the flop. It came {8-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades}. Mercier checked, and his opponent bet out 450.

"How much is it?" asked Mercier, removing his sunglasses. He made the call, and the two men saw the turn bring the {Q-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The river was the {9-Hearts}. Mercier again passed, and his opponent put out a bet of 1,250. Mercier quickly counted out the calling chips, but seemed pained by the decision. He went into the tank for several minutes, alternately staring at his chips, the board, and his opponent. After a bit of a delay, he finally folded his hand, looking frustrated. He is down to 8,200 in the early going.
