Mercier Getting Short

There was 22,000 in the middle when we arrived to the table to see that Jason Mercier was heads up with an opponent. The board had run down {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}, and Mercier checked to his opponent, who fired out 20,000. Mercier tanked for about a minute before chucking his cards away.

After that pot, Mercier is down to 64,000, and we expect that he will be getting those chips into the middle fairly soon.
