Mercier Chops to Hang In There

Omaha/8

Jason Mercier reraised from the button after a player opened with a raise from middle position. Mercier's opponent then four-bet to get Mercier all in. Mercier made the call.

Showdown
Mercier: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}
Opponent: {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} {3-Spades} {2-Spades}

The flop came down {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} and Mercier began rising from his seat as his opponent flopped the wheel. "Five on the turn for a chop." said one of the other players at the table.

Just like that, the {5-Diamonds} was placed on the felt for the turn card and Mercier sat back down in his chair. The river was the {7-Hearts}. It wasn't a normal high-low chop, but it was a chop good enough keep Mercier in the tournament.
