Mercier Retakes Chip Lead
Level 21
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Max Altergott picked the wrong time to try and bluff Jason Mercier after he had turned trips.
The board read 
and Mercier led for 260,000 with 
. Altergott was holding 
and raised to 700,000. Call.
Mercier checked to his opponent on the 
turn and called when Altergott bet 1,010,000. The first slip up we've seen the German make.
