Hansen and Mercier Go All In Blind

Level 6 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

More details on that Jason Mercier double up from a moment ago.

Gus Hansen suggested going all in blind. Mercier agreed and both shoved their stacks in the middle without looking.

Showdown
Hansen: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Mercier: {4-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop came {4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, giving Mercier the lead. A {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn, leaving Hansen flush and counterfeit outs. The {9-Diamonds} river came safe for Mercier, who doubled again to 92,000.
