A Mercierful End

There was a mid-position limp before Jason Mercier, reduced to 1,025, shoved in the hijack. Both the gent in the cutoff and the mid-position limper called.

Both non-all-in players checked the {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, and the limper check/folded to a 1,000 bet from the cutoff on the {j-Hearts} turn. Mercier and the gent in the cutoff flipped their cards.

Mr. Cutoff: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for two pair
Mercier: drawing pretty thin with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

River: a no-cigar {8-Hearts}

With that, we are down one Mr. Mercier.
