Mercier cuttin' out chips

Sam Stein raised the button to 7,500 and Jason Mercier called. The flop came down {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

and that would be the final round of betting where either player put chips in the pot. Mercier check-called a bet of 10,500 from Stein and they then moved to the turn, which came the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

. Both players checked and then the river was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

. Both checked again.

Mercier's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

was good enough to win him the pot as Stein mucked his hand.
