Six-Bet Jam from Mercier

Level 3 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

From the hijack seat, Gus Hansen raised to 7,000. Paul Phua reraised on the button and made it 20,000 to go. Then, action fell on Jason Mercier in the small blind, and he went into the tank. Eventually, Mercier put in a cold four-bet to 48,500. Richard Yong quickly folded from the big blind, and Hansen got out of the way. Then, Phua came back over the top with a reraise to 88,000.

Mercier took his time, with his head slightly turned down as he stared straight ahead. Then, his eyes moved up to make contact with the dealer and the words "all in" came from his mouth.

Instantly, Phua ripped his cards up into the air and held them high above his head, almost as though he was trying to press them against the ceiling as he stared at them. He slammed them back down on the table and shook his head. After about 15 seconds of shaking his head, Phua folded, and Mercier won the pot.
