Mercier Goes To Battle with a King in Razz

Razz

Michael Binger: (X)(X) / {3-}{7-}{4-}{7-}
Jason Mercier: (X)(X) / {K-}{8-}{3-}{9-} - fold

This is an interesting hand where we found Jason Mercier pitted against Michael Binger. Normally in Razz, starting with a king up isn't something you necessarily want to do, but Mercier decided to go to battle with it anyway.

Picking up the action on fourth, Binger fired and Mericer called. Binger also fired fifth and was called again. Mercier asked the dealer if he could please give Binger one big card, but it didn't look like it was going to come. After Binger paired on sixth, he fired another bet and this time Mercier laughed and then folded his hand, not going any further with it.

Mercier dropped to 7,100 and Binger increased to 8,100.
