Mercier Doubles

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Joseph McKeehen opened to 2,500 on the button, and Jason Mercier, who slipped all the way down to 17,000 chips, moved all in from the small blind. The big blind tank-folded, and McKeehan snap-called.

McKeehen: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Mercier: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The flop was certainly an interesting one: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. McKeehan had flopped a set of fours, but Mercier could still make the best hand with a six, seven, or club. The {6-Clubs} would even give him an unbeatable straight flush.

The {j-Spades} on the turn was a brick, bringing Mercier one step closer to elimination, but the {6-Diamonds} completed the board, giving him a seven-high straight. He doubled to 35,000 chips, while McKeehan is down to 21,000.
