Mercier's River Raise Earns Him a Pot
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
A player opened from middle position with a raise to 2,800. He was called by Jason Mercier in the cutoff, as well as the player in the big blind.
The flop came down 
, and all three players checked to see the 
on the turn. The big blind checked, and the preflop raiser bet 3,500. Mercier called, and the big blind folded. On the 
river, the bettor bet 6,300. Mercier thought for a while, asked the player to move his hands to see his stack, then raised, making it 25,100.
His opponent thought for a long time, then decided to fold, and Mercier was able to take down the pot without a showdown.
