Jason Mercier

Jason Mercier is fearless and aggressive, but that doesn't mean he doesn't run into solid hands once in a while -- or even two at the same time.

After an early-position player limped into the pot, Mercier raised to 3,900. He was called by a late-position player and the early-position player for a three-way flop of {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

. Mercier must have sensed something was amiss; when action passed to him he checked. His two opponents wound up all in, one with {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

and the other with a set of tens, {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

. By that point, however, Mercier had already wisely folded his hand.
