Mercier and Baron Find What They're After

Level 6 : 250/500, 0 ante

It didn't take long for late registrants Jason Mercier and Isaac Baron to find some action.

Mercier defended his big blind against a Baron open, then check called a 1,500-chip bet on the {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. The turn came the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked. They also checked the {6-Clubs} river where Mercier showed {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

"I can't beat you at basketball. I can't beat you at poker. I can't beat you anywhere," said Baron, perhaps explaining where these two were during the first few levels of play.
