Mercier's Good Start Clipped, And Other News

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante
  • Jason Mercier has more than doubled his stack already despite losing a pot just now. He raised to 50 from the button and bet 25 on a {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. The big blind called both times and then led for 75 on the {2-Diamonds} river after both players checked the {5-Diamonds} turn. Mercier called and mucked when shown {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. He has 7,200 chips.
  • Tom Middleton picked off a river bluff from an opponent on a {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} board. Middleton's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} bettered his opponent's {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.
  • Ludovic Lacay couldn't shake off an opponent on a {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} board. He bet 125 and 400 on the flop and turn before both players checked the river. His opponent opened {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and the Frenchman mucked whilst saying to us, "They'll never learn!"
