Mercier's Day Ends Early

Jason Mercier got his chips in good, but it wasn't meant to be today.

After a preflop raise from the player in the hijack seat, Mercier three-bet to 1,675 from the button. Action made its way back to the original raiser, who put in a fourth bet to 3,175. Mercier shoved for 13,900, and the other player called.

Mercier's {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} was out in front of {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, but the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades} board gave his opponent a set and a pot worth around 28,000 chips. Mercier's stack was barely covered and he made his way to the rail.
