and Stein checked. Mercier bet 9,500 and Stein raised it to 25,500. Mercier called and the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

hit the turn. Stein bet 38,000 and Mercier called, delivering the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

river card.

Stein fired again, this time for 63,500. Mercier thought for about a minute before making the call. Stein tabled {J-Spades}

for air and Mercier had that beat with {4-Spades}

{3-Clubs}
