Get Yer Low Cards

Jason Mercier has joined the table that was formerly being run by his buddy Allen Bari, and the two of them are sitting side by side in the seven and eight seats, respectively. When we walked up, Mercier was playing a pot.

Mercier: (X)(X) / {a-} {4-} {3-} {2-} / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / {3-} {7-} {8-} {a-} / (X)

Mercier was leading the betting when we walked up on fifth, and it's fair to say he was probably leading it on third and fourth as well. His opponent called the fifth-street bet, and another one on sixth, and Mercier checked on seventh. The other player made the last bet, and Mercier wasn't going to call. He fanned out his full seven cards as he stared them down: {a-} {2-} {3-} / {a-} {4-} {3-} {2-} .

It's a pretty hand, but it's pretty worthless in razz, and Mercier spun his seven low cards into the muck, dropping his stack down to about 6,700.
