Mercier Takes a Big Chunk of Shakerchi
Level 7
: 125/250, 40 ante
Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi is getting short with only 12,000 chips left, as he lost a big pot against Jason Mercier.
Mercier opened under the gun to 562, but to his left Shakerchi made it 1,500 to go. Mercier made the call and the two saw a 
flop. Mercier check-called a bet of 1,894.
Both checked the 
turn and Mercier fired 3,362 on the 
river. Shakerchi took a moment before he called. Mercier showed 
for trips aces and that was good enough to win the hand.
