Mercier Catches Three-Outer to Survive

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Jason Mercier on Day 2, looking scary.
Jason Mercier on Day 2, looking scary.

Matthias Tikerpe opened to 6,100 from UTG and received two calls from Timo Pfutzenreuter and Daniel Erlandsson before Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier squeezed all in from the big blind for just over 120,000.

Tikerpe quickly called, Pfutzenreuter and Erlandsson folded.

Tikerpe: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Mercier: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Mercier needed one of the three bullets to survive and it looked to be all over until he hit right on the end with the "Barry Greenstein Special" - an Ace on the River.

The board was {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and Mercier doubled up to about 250,000.
