Mercier Doubles Again
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
We caught the action with around 7,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Jason Mercier had bet 1,200 from middle position and Gabriel Nassif took his time before raising to 2,400 from the button. Mercier made it 3,600 to go, leaving himself just 800 behind, and then called off when Nassif four-bet it.

Nassif: 
"That's what I figured," Nassif said when Mercier rolled over pocket rockets. Nassif could still win with a king, but that didn't happen as the 
blanked on the river. With that, Mercier has nearly three times as man chips as he started the day with.
