Burkholder Can't Call

Steven Burkholder opened for 60,000 from the button and Jason Mercier called from the big blind. The flop was {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and Mercier check-called a 75,000 bet from Burkholder. Both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the turn. When the river fell the {A-Spades}, Mercier made his move, betting a hefty 215,000. Burkholder couldn't pull the trigger and he folded, conceding the pot to Mercier.

The two are still very close in chips, with Burkholder up about 150,000 on Mercier.
