Here Comes Mercier

Jason Mercier

We caught up with the action three-handed where the big blind, Jason Mercier (middle position) and Tom McCormick (hijack) all checked the {J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. All three players also checked the {5-Diamonds} turn but when the {10-Spades} hit the river, the big blind led for 3,500. Mercier called behind while McCormick folded and the big blind showed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for tens up. Mercier also had tens up but his {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} gave him a higher kicker with a king than the jack on board and he took down the pot.
