Mercier Runs Into Bullets

With the board reading {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Jason Mercier bet 5,150 with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} only for another player to move all in for 20,500. Mercier took a minute before commenting, "This might be a really bad call" and, naturally, making the call.

If anything, it was certainly bad timing as Mercier was shown {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, leaving him searching for two outs which failed to arrive on a {10-Diamonds} turn and {10-Hearts} river.

Mercier - 69,000.
