Mercier Me

J to the Son to the Mer-Ci-Er
J to the Son to the Mer-Ci-Er

We're not sure how it came to this, but we arrived to see Jason Mercier involved in a massive pot. His opponent was all in preflop and the cards were being turned over.

Mercier: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
All-in gentleman: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Board: {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

With a little silent double fist pump, the all-in player doubled to well over 400,000. Mercier counted out the call, and was left with 90,000 - around a third of the average stack as the bubble looms.
