Sebastian Ruthenberg Doubles Through Jason Mercier

Sebastian Ruthenberg open-raised all in for a total of 479,000. When action hit Martin Nielsen, he thought for quite some time before making what appeared to be an agonizing fold. Jason Mercier made the call and action folded around. The players showed:

Mercier: {A-Hearts}

Ruthenberg: {9-Spades}

The flop came {A-Diamonds}

marking the second time in recent memory Mercier has gotten involved in a "pair vs. overcards" scenario, only to flop top pair but see his opponent spike a set. The turn and river were no help to the American as they fell the {J-Spades}
