Mercier Gets Best of Bloch

Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Jason Mercier, with an 85,000-to-15,000 lead on Andy Bloch, raised enough pre-flop to put Bloch all in. Bloch called with a small ace, {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Mercier showed a slightly bigger ace, {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The hand seemed destined for a chop but Mercier paired his kicker on the flop {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. By the turn {5-Clubs} Bloch was drawing dead and, like Antonio Esfandiari before him, was eliminated from the tournament.
