Don't Mess With Mercier

Isabelle Mercier, no doubt refreshed after that ninety-minute massage in the last level, watched from the big blind as the table folded around. The player in the small blind then raised to 800.

"You don't have to raise my big blind every time it folds around, right?" she said as she made the call.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The small blind checked, Mercier bet 1,200, and he called. The turn was the {8-Spades}. He checked again, she bet 2,200, and this time he let it go.

Mercier is now up to 38,000.
