Mercier Stumbles, Falls

Jason Mercier

We walked up to Jason Mercier's table to see him making a preflop reraise to 6,400. Down the line from him, an unknown female opponent moved all in for about 15,000. Mercier, we would soon find out, held two rather meager cards, but he was getting the right price to call, and he did just that, tabling {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

. His opponent turned up pocket jacks, and they would hold on a board running {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{A-Spades}

.

That dropped Mercier down into the danger zone with just a few thousand chips, and he would move them all in a few hands later with {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. He was looked up by an opponent with pocket kings, and, unable to improve, Mercier made his way slowly toward the exit.
