Jaffe Takes One From Mercier
Level 8
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jason Mercier raised to 4,800 from the cutoff and Jonathan Jaffe called from the big blind.
Flop:
Jaffe led out 6,100 and Mercier responded with a raise to 15,500. A call from Jaffe brought the turn which he quickly checked. Mercier checked behind and the hit the river. Jaffe bet 15,000, sending Mercier into the tank for a few minutes before ultimately folding.
We estimate that Jaffe upped his stack to about 120,000 while Mercier slipped to about 80,000.
