Hansen with Big River Raise Against Mercier

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checked the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board and Jason Mercier bet 108,000. Behind him, Gus Hansen tanked and then called. Grospellier folded.

The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs} and Mercier led into Hansen for 265,000. Hansen took some time before raising to 932,000. The raise sent Mercier into the tank and he spent several long minutes there. Eventually, Mercier folded saying, "So sick, it's so sick," quietly under his breath.

"You going to show one card? Something goofy?" Mercier asked Hansen.

"You can see the whole hand for $20,000," responded Hansen.

Mercier didn't take the offer and Hansen's cards weren't shown.
