The Ol' Suck-Resuck

In early position, Luc Greenwood open-raised to 2,500, and action passed halfway around the table. Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier was in the cutoff seat, and he three-bet it up to 6,200. Greenwood would spend a few minutes in the think tank before moving all in for 35,100, and Mercier quickly called.

Showdown
Greenwood: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Mercier: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

Greenwood was a bit miffed at the hand he'd run into, but the news would improve for him. The dealer ran out a flop of {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}, vaulting the young Canadian into the lead and putting Mercier in danger of a crippling blow. The turn {8-Spades} was a sweat as it gave the Pro a flush draw, and that draw would come through nicely as the {5-Spades} hit the river. Mercier's nut flush is plenty good enough to knockout the disappointed Greenwood.

"Good game, bro," said Mercier, his head bobbing up and down from the vigorous massage he's in the midst of. "Cooler... I shove there too." With a genuine smile dismissing Greenwood, Mercier stacked up his new chips to move over 90,000.
