Mercier Scoops One
After the player in the cutoff raised, Jason Mercier three-bet on the button. The blinds folded and the player in the cutoff four-bet. Mercier called and the flop came down 

.
A bet from the cutoff led to a Mercier raise, a cutoff re-raise, and a Mercier four-bet. The cutoff slowed down with a call and proceeded to check-call bets on the
turn and
river.
Mercier tabled 


for top set with a 7-5 low. His opponent could beat neither, giving the entire pot to Mercier.
