He's the King of the Castell

Mercier - lost a race
Mercier - lost a race
Jason Mercier is down to 74,000 after doubling up one Sergio Castellucio.

Mercier raised to 6,300 and, without a moment's, thought Castelluccio made it 20,000 from the big blind. Equally quickly and without expression, Mercier threw in a stack of yellow 5,000 chips, enough to cover Castelluccio -- and there was a short pause while Castelluccio examined his remaining 40,000. He called.

Mercier: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Castelluccio: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

Phil Laak stood up for absolutely no reason, and declared, "Good luck, boys, this is what they call a race! Giddy up! Giddy up!" Too much sugar for Mr Laak.

Nevertheless:

Board: {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

Laak: "Well, you won a race."

Then he muttered something about ace-king never losing, which was clearly not true, and shook Castelluccio by the hand.

Castelluccio up to 120,000.
