Jason Mercier Loses Chips

We caught this hand on the turn when bet 2,025 on a board of {5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The {3-Hearts} fell on the river and Mercier bet 5,725 before his opponent shoved all in over the top. Mercier made the call and mucked when his opponent showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for the straight.

After the hand, Mercier was left with just 4,000.
