Mercier is Gored by Gorey

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

If Jason Mercier was the matador in this hand, imagine Ronan Gorey as the bull, charging for the Team PokerStars Pro.

Mercier, bedecked in red today, has a mood to match his attire after a frustrating hand for the Floridian. He opened preflop to 13,00 and Gorey shoved over the top for 87,000. Mercier was the only one to call it off.

Jason Mercier: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Ronan Gorey: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The flop of {J-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} kept Mercier ahead, but gave Gorey hope, which was duly delivered upon when the {J-Hearts} fell on the turn. Mercier had counted out Gorey's payment by the time the {3-Clubs} river hit the felt. Ouch.
