No Back-to-Back for Mercier

WTF? I can't win back-to-back now
WTF? I can't win back-to-back now

Jason Mercier was all in in the small blind, and a player on the button had him at risk.

Mercier: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Mercier was safe on the flop ({8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}), and the turn ({j-Spades}), but the {9-Clubs} on the river gave his opponent a king-high straight, eliminating Mercier from the tournament.
