PokerStars Pro Mercier Rivers the Nuts

Jason Mercier

There was about 1,200 in the pot with a board reading {7-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{K-Spades} when the small blind bet 300 and received a call from PokerStars Team Pro USA member Jason Mercier.

The dealer burned and revealed the {5-Diamonds} on the river, which inspired the small blind to check. Mercier threw out a bet of 1,500 and the small blind seemed perplexed. He double checked his cards, threw in a yellow and blue chip to make the call and then mucked when Mercier showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the nut flush.

Mercier is up to 36,500 after that win.
