Mercier Unlucky
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Robert Fenner just raised under the gun to 2,500 and the action was folded to Brian Payne in the small blind. The overall Day 1 chip leader doesn't like folding and put in a three-bet to 6,000. Jason Mercier was next to act in the big blind and he four-bet to 16,500.
Fenner took a little time before deciding to move all in. Payne quickly folded his cards and Mercier called.

Fenner: 
Mercier was in great shape for a big double up, but the flop brought 
. The one out Mercier needed to win this pot didn't come as the turn, the 
, and river, 
, brought mere blanks.
Mercier is really short now and he will be all in for his tournament life shortly.
