Up and Down for Mercier

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Brett Richey check-called a bet from Jason Mercier on a {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. When the {9-Spades} hit the turn, Mercier once again check-called a bet from Mercier, this time 43,000. The same happened on the {7-Clubs} river to the tune of 106,000 and Mercier showed {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Richey simply mucked as he lost the hand and dropped to 265,000. Mercier is up to 775,000.

A few hands later, action folded to Mercier in the small blind and he raised to 13,500. Ravi Raghavan, who had grown short-stacked, moved all in for just over 100,000 and was called by Mercier.

Raghavan: {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Mercier: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Raghavan was in trouble and didn't connect on the {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, though he did pick up some straight outs. The dealer burned and turned the {3-Spades}, giving Raghavan the best hand. The {Q-Clubs} on the river was inconsequential and Raghavan doubled to 212,000. Just like that, Mercier was back down to 670,000
