Mercier vs. Lamb: Mercier Takes Control

We pick up the action on the river over at Jason Mercier's table. The board read {J-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, and Mercier checked first to act. Benjamin Lamb fired out 10,000, and Mercier put in a check-raise to 52,500. After some debate, Lamb called.

Mercier tabled {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} for the turned straight. Lamb couldn't beat that, and he mucked his two cards. With that pot, Mercier has pulled ahead of his opponent, sitting with 290,000 to Lamb's 190,000
