[user25067]

Dario Alioto opened for 36,000 from the cutoff and Jason Mercier made the call from the small blind.

Both players checked the {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {2-Spades} flop. When the {6-Spades} hit the turn, Mercier led out for 51,000 and Alioto made the call. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Mercier fired out another 120,000, leaving himself with only 50,000 behind. Alioto folded and Mercier dragged the pot, taking his stack up to 356,000. Alioto was left with 225,000.
