Mercier Flops the Boat

[user4144]

Our two remaining Trojans saw a flop of {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

, John Juanda led for 55,000 and Jason Mercier called. With both players checking the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

turn, Mercier fired out 75,000 on the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

river. After verbally going through the various hands that his young foe might have, Juanda called. Mercier showed {J-?}

{J-?}

{6-?}

for the flopped house, which, funnily enough, was the best hand.
