Mercier Doubles Through Cornell

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The money was in the middle preflop between Jason Mercier and Tyler Cornell.

Mercier: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Cornell: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop kept Mercier comfortably in the lead but the {5-Hearts} turn gave Cornell the draw to go with his two overs. But hope was fleeting for Cornell and the {3-Clubs} river gave the pot and the double up to Mercier.

After it was over Mercier told the table: "It's been a long time since I squinted at the river." He can now open his eyes as he sits comfortably with an double average stack.
