Mercier Shows Some Kindness

Jason Mercier raised to 525 from the button and the big blind moved all in for an additional 500. Mericer made the call and showed {J-Spades}{7-Spades} vs. his opponent's {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

When the board ran {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, his opponent's hand held and he doubled up. Mercier still has comfortable stack of about 12,000.
