Mercier's Aggression Costs Him Chips

[user75032]

Sometimes aggression backfires. The pot was raised preflop to 775, with two callers coming along for a {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

flop. Jason Mercier bet 1,575 and was called by Matt Vengrin before the third player raised to 6,000. Mercier reponded by moving all in for 50,000 total. That raise folded Vengrin, but the third player called all in with {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

. Mercier was drawing, {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

, and missed when the board came running fours, {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

and

{4-Hearts}

.

Paying off that pot undid all of Mercier's work for today. He's down to 29,000.
