Mercier Folds River

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Jason Mercier knows a thing or two about World Series of Poker events. After all, he does hold two gold bracelets. He's still looking for his first in hold'em, though, as the two he has are from pot-limit Omaha events.

On this hand, Mercier opened to 125 from middle position before the players on the button made the call. Everyone else folded, then the dealer ran out the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. Mercier bet 125, and his opponent called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, and Mercier slowed down with a check. The button also checked.

The river was the {6-Diamonds}, and Mercier checked again. The button fired 400, and Mercier gave it up.

Despite losing this pot, Mercier has already built his stack above starting and sits with 6,150.
