Mercier Doubles and Gives a Little Back

Jason Mercier

Picking up the action on the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop, five players were involved including Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier. After the first two players checked, Mercier checked. The fourth player to act bet 2,000 and the player behind him folded. Action folded back to Mercier and he called.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and Mercier checked again. His opponent fired 6,000 and Mercier took a few moments to think. Mercier had 14,850 left in his stack and moved them all into the middle with a check-shove. His opponent quickly called holding the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Mercier had him drawing dead, though, as he held the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}. The river completed the board with the {2-Diamonds} and Mercier doubled up.

On the very next hand, Mercier was in the big blind. Philip Sternheimer raised from the hijack seat to 1,200 and Mercier made the call to see the {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop. Mercier checked and Sternheimer bet 1,700. Mercier called.

After the {7-Hearts} landed on the turn, Mercier checked to his opponent. Sternheimer bet 4,100 and Mercier folded.
