Oh Mercier, What a River!

It's been a wild level for Jason Mercier, but he better hang on to his hat, as this ride isn't over just yet.

Mercier had the player to his direct right all in preflop, but when the cards were tabled Mercier wasn't pleased with what he saw.

Mercier: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

It took three ESPN cameras to swarm the table to grab the action from every angle. Nothing newsworthy after the first four community cards landed {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} but jaws dropped all around when the {Q-Hearts} dinked on the river for the two-outer!

Most of Mercier's stack was on the line but he finds a way to take it down with a lovely lady on the river, to get himself back up to 220,000 chips.
