Mercier Can't Call

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jason Mercier opened for 4,400 from middle position and Mike Gorodinsky three-bet to 13,000 from the button. Mercier called and they saw a {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{K-Hearts} flop. Both players checked. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Mercier check-called another 11,200 from Gorodinsky. Mercier checked the {8-Diamonds} on the river and Gorodinsky bet 30,000, sending the Team PokerStars Pro into the tank.

After a long think, Mercier gave up his hand, and Gorodinsky took down the pot, increasing his stack to 250,000. Mercier is down to 105,000.
