Mercier Presents the Kaiser with a Gift
Robert Mizrachi raised to 14,000, and Aaron Kaiser called from the cutoff. Jason Mercier joined them in the small blind to see a flop. The turn was the , and Mercier bet out 31,000. Mizrachi quickly folded, but Kaiser slowly made the call. The river double-paired the board, and Mercier put out an 88,000 bet. "Call," Kaiser said instantly. "I have ace-high," Mercier said as Kaiser turned over for the second nut flush. He asked if Mercier's ace was the ace of spades, and Jason said it was. He slipped to 410,000 while Kaiser moved up to 415,000.
