It's a Mercier Massacre

A blind on blind raising war erupted between Jason Mercier (small blind) and Thomas Bichon (big). We're not certain how the action went, but there was well over 100,000 in the pot already, and an additional 100,000 in front of Mercier.

Bichon seems to have called the clock in himself, and he eventually folded with just a few seconds to spare. "Was it a mistake?" he asked afterwards, "Would you call if I say all in?" In an attempt to steer clear of the ESPN cameras, who for some reason tolerate railers in the shot but not bloggers, we had to duck away so we didn't hear Mercier's reply. We did, however, hear Bichon call across the table at him, "You're a sick gambler." Indeed.

Bichon - 600,000
Mercier - 1.34 million
