Mercier Draws a Three To Double and Stay Alive

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 250 ante

Pokerstars Team Pro Jason Mercier wasn't looking too hot when after he pushed all in from the cutoff for his last 11,175, Tim Phan insta-re-raised all in. Phan got no calls and Mercier and him were the only two left in the hand

Mercier drew one and Phan announced he was standing pat with a nine-seven low leaving Mercier with only a three or a two for the win. But, Mercier got lucky and squeezed out a three for {9-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} to beat Phan's {9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-}.

Mercier after the hand even said, "Man, I almost stood pat with a jack there." He is now up to around 25,000 and must be feeling invincible after that SICK draw.
