Mercier Makin' It Happen

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, Jason Mercier checked to his opponent who fired out a bet of 1,500. Mercier made the call and the two players saw the {K-Hearts} fall on the turn. Mercier checked again and his opponent bet 3,100 this time. Mercier flat called once more.

The river brought {6-Spades} and Mercier checked for a third time. His opponent also checked, but sent his cards into the muck when Mercier turned up {k-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for two pair.
