Mercier Doubles Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

With a {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop exposed in the middel, Jason Mercier managed to get all in and called. Lucky for Mercier he held {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for two pair while his opponent possessed {A-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The turn fell the {k-Clubs} and the river came out {3-Spades} giving Mercier the necessary requirements to double up.
