Cautious Play Gets Mercier the Pot

[user75032]

Isabelle Mercier was on the button for a five-way limped flop of {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

. There were three checks before a player two seats to Mercier's right bet 3,300. Mercier called, as did the big blind and the under the gun player. Action checked on the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

turn and the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

river. At showdown, the big blind's {K-?}

{K-?}

{5-?}

and the late position player's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Spades}

were no match for Mercier's {8-?}

{8-?}

{8-?}

. She got the pot.
