Mercier Bests Bonomo

Level 1

Bonomo: (X)(X) / {5-}{10-}{A-}{8-} / (X)
Mercier: (X)(X) / {Q-}{7-}{4-}{K-} / (X)

We caught up with the action on fourth where Justin Bonomo bet and Jason Mercier called. The action was the same on the next two streets while both players checked seventh. Bonomo announced “Ten” but Mercier flipped over {A-}{2-}{9-} for a nine-low that was good to win the pot.
