Mercier Faces River Raise

Catching the action on the turn on a board of {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Jason Mercier led out with a bet of 6,100 and the player on the button made the call to see the {j-Hearts} fall on the river.

Mercier came out betting once again for 13,500, but his opponent quickly splashed the pot with ten 5,000-denomination chips to announce a raise.

"Nine-ten huh?" sighed Mercier as he tossed his cards into the muck. He slips to 150,000.
