This time Mercier made it 100,000 under the gun and it folded right around to Shulman in the big blind, who called to see a
flop. Shulman checked and Mercier bet 120,000. Shulman quietly pushed out a stack of white 25,000-denomination chips by way of a raise, and Mercier tossed his cards away with a puff of resignation.
