How (Not) to Muck Against Mercier

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player in middle position raised to 250 and Jason Mercier called to his immediate left. Both blinds came along as well.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and action checked around to the original raiser, who chucked in another 250 bet. Mercier flung in a call and the blinds folded.

The turn came a {3-Hearts} and Mercier's opponent checked. Mercier began to reach for his chips and his opponent instantly folded before Mercier had officially bet. The dealer warned him not to act out of turn.

"He should get a penalty," Mercier said with a wry smile.

Mercier is up to 36,500.
