Blackman Can't Call Mercier
Level 2
: 200/400, 50 ante
Scott Blackman opened to 1,100 from middle position, only to see Jason Mercier three-bet to 2,850 from the cutoff.
Blackman called and the flop ran down 
. Both checked, leading to the 
turn. Another check from Blackman and another check from Mercier brought the 
river. Blackman checked for a third time, prompting Mercier to bet 4,500. Blackman gave it up and Mercier won the pot to up his stack to about 53,000.
