Mercieradication

And that's the end of the line for the successful young player. You can't win them all, although Mercier's looked recently to be doing his best. A Stud hi-lo hand was his last. It started out fourway, but Mercier's bet on fourth street got rid of one opponent. He did, however get his all-in on firth called by both Scott Clements and Carol Kline.

Mercier: [XXX] {5-Spades}

...

Clements: [XXX] {9-Clubs}

...

Kline: [XXX] {5-Hearts}

...

After they checked the river, Mercier said, "What you got?" lazily turning {A-Hearts}

. Clements showed {K-Spades}

for trips, but it was Kline, somewhat confused about what her hand was, who scooped the lot and busted Mercier, showing {A-Diamonds}

. She'd not looked delighted with her hand until the flush was pointed out, plus the seven low. "I didn't see that!" she said while raking in the pot.
