Kempe: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Natasha Mercier: {10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving Mercier hope. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, improving Mercier's odds. The {7-Hearts} river gave Mercier a straight to double up.

According to the chatter at Jason Mercier's table, he found his own double, too. Mister Mercier shoved {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a total of 11,000 and got called by an opponent with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. He rivered a gutterball to survive.
