Mercier Wins Another Big Hand

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The roll has continued for Jason Mercier after taking down another huge hand to get himself up to over 380,000.

We caught the action on the flop, which read {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Mercier's lone opponent, James Thompson fired out 13,000, and Mercier made the call. The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and Thompson led out again, this time for 24,500. Again, Mercier didn't take too long to toss in the call, and the river was the {k-Clubs}. Thompson cut out a big bet of 46,500, and slid it into the middle.

It only took Mercier about 15 seconds to call, and Thompson showed {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. It wasn't good though, as Mercier rolled over {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a rivered flush.
