Jason Mercier Doubles Up In Dramatic Fashion Again!

Jason Mercier raised to 14,500 on the button and Sam Stein re-raised to 41,500 in the big blind. Mercier re-raised all in for 430,000. Stein thought for a few moments and made the call.

Stein: {A-Diamonds}

Mercier:

When Mercier tabled his pocket threes, there was a little significance to the fact that his online name used to be "treysfull21". Would it be?

The flop came {J-Hearts}

and Stein jumped out to a huge lead. The turn brought the {4-Hearts}

and added four more outs to a straight for Mercier.

BOOOM!!!!!! The {5-Hearts}

fell on the river and Mercier did it again, making a straight to double up and take a monster chip lead. It wasn't a treys full, but it was pretty damn close.

Stein is down to 13,000 while Mercier is up to 872,000 and appears closing in on victory.
