Too Many Outs For Mercier as LeFrancois Doubles
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jason Mercier limped in from under the gun and Ren Lin followed from early position. Pascal LeFrancois then raised to 220,000 and both opponents called.
"Come on, one time baby," Lin said as the flop came Q♠6♥3♥. Mercier then bet 700,000 and Lin slapped his hand before folding, while LeFrancois called for 200,000.
Pascal LeFrancois: A♦K♦Q♦5♦ 
Jason Mercier: 8♥7♠5♠5♥
LeFrancois was ahead with a pair of queens, while Mercier had straight and flush draws. The 8♦ turn gave Mercier more outs, but he missed the 3♦ river as LeFrancois doubled up.
"Too many outs," Mercier said as he handed over the pot.
