Captain Shows No Mercy to Jason

Jason Mercier raised from early position to 1,275 and only found a caller from Captain Tom Franklin in the big blind. When the flop came down {K-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} Franklin check called Mercier's 1,600 bet.

The turn {7-Hearts} slowed both players down as they checked it through to see the {J-Spades} river that both players checked again. Franklin flipped over {Q-?} {Q-?} that was good for the pot as Mercier mucked.

Franklin sitting pretty on 35,000 now but Mercier is still very healthy on 23,000.
