Mercier on the Move

Jason Mercier has bounced all of the way up to more than 70,000 thanks to a big hand just now.

Mercier opened with a raise to 475 and got two callers in the blinds. The flop came {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-}. The player in the small blind bet 4,000, forcing a fold from the BB. Mercier then raised to 10,000, and his opponent called.

The turn was a {6-}. Mercier's opponent bet out 17,000, leaving himself just 6,000 behind. Mercier shoved over the top, and his opponent called with his remaining chips.

Mercier showed {Q-}{Q-} for the flopped set. His opponent showed {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a turned straight and a flush draw.

But the river brought the {6-Hearts}, giving Mercier the full house and the huge pot.
