Mercier Rocks Rockets

The big blind checked a {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, and Chris Bjorin and Barry Greenstein checked behind. Jason Mercier was last to act, and he bet 450. The big blind then check-raised to 1,075. That was enough to fold out Bjorin and Greenstein. Mercier made the call, tossing in the chips with an exaggerated eye roll. The turn brought the {a-Hearts}, and the big blind bet 3,200. Mercier moved all in for another 1,575 with top set, and his opponent called with a double gutshot.

Mercier: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Big blind: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds} river was a blank, and Mercier doubled to nearly 8,000. He also has one rebuy remaining.
