Mercier Falls, Arieh Climbs

On a board of {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades} Josh Arieh and George Lind checked to Jason Mercier who bet 8,300 from the cutoff. Arieh reluctantly made the call and Lind folded. Mercier showed {a-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes and Arieh showed {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a flush.

After the hand Lind said, "Wait, you just had sixes?" Mercier gave a bit of a smile and laughed then said, "I've been playing too much Hold'em."

Mercier is down to 30,000 while Arieh has gone back up to 40,000
