Like Jason Mercier needs more help. The under-the-gun short stack raised to 10,000, and in late position, Mercier three-bet. The player called all in for his last 31,400. Time to table the hands. Mercier held {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, pretty standard. Mr. Call All In? {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. One way to make sure you've got live cards.

The {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop gave the guy an open-ender, and it's hard to tell whom the rail was rooting for. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn took away his pair outs, and the {8-Clubs} river didn't give him a straight. He disappeared quickly, leaving the rest of the table scratched their heads. Mercier is up to 325,000.
