Mercier Calls Heads; It's Tails
In early position, Emmeline Boich shoved her last 3,925 chips across the betting line. The gentleman to her immediate left called, and action came all the way around to the blinds. In the big, Jason Mercier squeezed out and moved all in for 17,350 himself. That was enough to (eventually) fold the initial caller and get Mercier and Boich heads up and flipping:
Boich:
Mercier:
The flop was safe and clean for Mercier, coming to keep him in the lead. The turn was an unfortunate sight, however, and the blank river meant a triple up for Boich. She's back in contention with more than 12,000 now, while Mercier has taken another step back. It's been a rough day for the American pro, and he has some work to do to build his stack back from 13,425.
