Cassidy (Epicly) Squeezes Out Double

After a series of raises preflop with around 30,000 in the pot, Jason Mercier moved all in for just over 60,000 from the big blind to put Joe Cassidy to a decision for his last 33,800.

After several minutes deliberating, Cassidy made the call drawing one to his {8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} as Mercier also drew one to his {9-}{6-}{5-}{2-}.

Mercier found the {10-} as Cassidy began squeezing out his card like he belonged in the Baccarat rooms in Macau!

"It has spots" he stated (meaning that it wasn't an ace, two, three or paint).

Cassidy began to slowly squeeze along the longer edge of the card to reveal three dots.

"I'm a two-to-one dog" he added (referring to the fact he was sweating a six, seven or eight and could now only hit a seven to stay alive)

Cassidy continued to squeeze it out - this time from the corner - and revealed a middle dot meaning that he was now even money to stay alive as it was definitely a seven or an eight.

As John Juanda, Eli Elezra and Tom Dwan watched closely at Cassidy's mastery squeezing ability, he continued to roll it up to finally reveal the {7-Clubs} to keep him alive in the tournament with 95,000 as Mercier slips to just 30,000 in chips.
