Mercier Building A Stack Fast
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 2,400 ante
Jason Mercier raised from late position to 3,200 and the player in the cutoff called.
Shawn Sheikhan three-bet from the big blind to 10,500 and both Mercier and the cutoff player put in calling chips to get to the draw.
Sheikhan stood pat as did Mercier with the cutoff player taking one.
Action checked through to showdown and Mercier turned over 10♣8♦7♥4♦3♦ for a ten-eight low which was good enough to take the pot down as both of his opponents quickly mucked.
