Patience Didn't Pay Off

Fabrice Soulier had been nursing different levels of a short stack for a long while now but after a very patient wait he finally found a spot to to make his move. Under the gun he raised to 625 leaving him just 100 behind. Jason Mercier was sitting in the next seat and gave him protection by reraising to 1,550.

Everyone else folded and Soulier threw in his final chip and tabled {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. He was dominated by Mercier's {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}.

All the way to the river we went {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Spades} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades}. The king on the flop sealed the deal and the popular Frenchman congratulated Mercier and made his exit.
