On the turn the 
hit and Mercier was forced to call 2,000 in order to see the river. The river was the 
and both players decided to check. Mercier's opponent showed 
and after double checking his cards the EPT and WSOP winner decided to fold. Mercier is still off to a good start and up to around 42,000 chips.
