Mercier Shows Mercy with Check-Calls

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{Q-Spades}, Jason Mercier checked called a bet of 3,800 from his opponent. He then checked called another bet, this time 6,700, when the {6-Clubs} was put out on the turn. When the {K-Spades} peeled off on the river, Mercier checked and his opponent decided to slow down with a check of his own.

Mercier showed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and it was good enough to take down the pot. Mercier is up to 44,000.
