Mercier Loses The Minimum

From under the gun Jason Mercier raises and receives a call from a player in early position and the small blind. The flop comes {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} . The small blind checks, Mercier bets 3,500, the player in early position calls and the small blind gets out of the way.

The turn brings the {7-Clubs} . Mercier check calls his opponent's 4,100 bet.

The river pairs the board with the {A-Hearts} and both players check. Mercier flips {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} for trip aces and his opponent then flips over {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} .

That's right - he checked down a full house.

Mercier loses the minimum with trip aces and slips to 25,000.
