Reluctant Showdown Still Wins Chips for Mercier

[user46298]

Markus Ristola raised to 63k preflop just now, called by Matt Hawrilenko, and Jason Mercier.

The flop: {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

. No further betting led to the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

coming out on the turn... and again no bet from any of them.

On the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

river, it's Mercier who took the first stab at the pot, but got a call from Hawrilenko. He showed down the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

, which turned out to be good, though.
