Lamb Says He Has Too Much Respect for Mercier To Call Unsuited

Level 2 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Jason Mercier raised to 7,500 from the cutoff seat, and Ben Lamb called from the big blind to see the {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop. Lamb checked, and Mercier bet 8,500. Lamb called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The river was the {J-Hearts}, and both players checked again.

"I have a pair of threes," said Lamb, turning up the {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

"With a good kicker," added Daniel Negreanu.

"Suited?" asked Mercier, checking back at his hand before looking over at Lamb's one last time.

"Yes..." responded Lamb. "I give you a lot of respect. I would never call your raise unsuited."
