Mercier Going the Wrong Way

Jason Mercier final tabled this event year, eventually falling in fourth place and taking home £267,267. This year, a run to the final table doesn't look to be the favorite, but it is early on. Mercier has had somewhat of a glum look on his face for most of the day since getting up to about 50,000 earlier.

On this hand, he limped under the gun and the next player raised to 1,400. Mercier called and the two saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Mercier check-called a bet of 2,500 from his opponent before the {2-Diamonds} peeled off on fourth street. Mercier checked and his opponent set him all in after looking at his stack size. Mercier has just under 17,000 left in his stack and went into the tank for a long while. Eventually, he gave it up and was left shaking his head.
