Jason Mercier raised to 800 from the cutoff and the player in the big blind called. The flop ran out {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades} and both players checked.

The {4-Hearts} hit on the turn and the player in the big blind checked. Mercier made it 1,050 to go. His opponent made the call. The river brought the {j-Diamonds} and after his opponent checked, Mercier bet 2,800. His opponent folded and Mercier took down the pot.
