Mercier Bests Lindley

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

From middle position, Jason Mercier raised to 1,600. Action folded to the player on the button and he three-bet to 3,800. Christina Lindley called from the small blind and then play folded back to Mercier. He also called.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Lindley led out with a bet of 6,000. Mercier flatted and the player on the button gave it up after a long minute in the tank.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and Lindley checked first. Mercier tapped the table with a check behind to see the {9-Spades} fall on the river. Lindley checked and Mercier reached for chips after pausing for a little. He fired a bet of 15,500. With the ESPN cameras recording the action, Lindley slid her hand into the muck and Mercier won the chips.
