Mercier Rivers Flush

2008 European Poker Tour San Remo Champion Jason Mercier has just found a nice double-up after spiking a flush on the river.

Mercier was racing with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} against his opponent's A-K and fell behind on the turn when the board landed {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. But when the river brought the {9-Hearts} Mercier held the only heart to capture the pot and move to 21,000 in chips.
