Mercier Dodges Costly One

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jason Mercier

One player was already all in for a side pot and Jason Mercier had just bet 2,800 on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The other player in the pot gave him some action and called. The turn was the {9-Spades}.

Mercier checked and his opponent moved all in for 8,775. Mercier could afford it but it was a big bet and he made the call with {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} hitting his set on the turn. The other player though turned over {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the made straight.

The river delivered the {10-Hearts} and with a straight on board everyone got their money back including the all in player who flipped over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.
