From under the gun Jason Mercier raises and receives a call from a player in early position and the small blind. The flop comes {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

. The small blind checks, Mercier bets 3,500, the player in early position calls and the small blind gets out of the way.

The turn brings the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

. Mercier check calls his opponent's 4,100 bet.

The river pairs the board with the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

and both players check. Mercier flips {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

for trip aces and his opponent then flips over {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

.

That's right - he checked down a full house.

Mercier loses the minimum with trip aces and slips to 25,000.
