Mercier Mucks

When we reached the table the flop had fallen {5-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Jason Mercier was heads up with an opponent who checked, and Mercier tossed out 2,700. His opponent called.

Both players checked the {8-Spades} on the turn, and after the {q-Clubs} rivered Mercier's opponent led for 6,000. Mercier screwed up his face, tanked for thirty seconds, and folded his hand.
