Level 6
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Jason Mercier opened to 40,000 from under the gun, and Gus Hansen called in the cutoff seat. The flop fell 
, and Mercier led for 52,000. Hansen called.
Both players checked on the turn (
), and the river (
), and Mercier rolled over 
for a pair of nines.
"I assumed I was good when you checked behind," Mercier announced.
"That's a great assumption," Hansen told him. "Top notch."
"Yeah," Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier added. "Nice read, Jason."
