Mercier Takes From Addamo

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante

Joining the action on the {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, Jason Mercier checked in the small blind and Michael Addamo made it 2,300 to go from middle position. Mercier called and the {9-Diamonds} turn brought no betting action. On the {3-Hearts} river, Mercier checked again and Addamo bet 9,000.

What followed was a check-raise by Mercier to 28,200 and Addamo was sent into the think tank for almost three minutes. The Aussie, who capped off a stellar 2018 by winning two WSOP bracelets, then sent his cards into the muck. Below are assorted counts from notables on the same table.
