Mercier Cripples Koon in Cooler Hand

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Jason Mercier has crippled Jason Koon in a really cooler hand that is typical of Pot-Limit Omaha.

Both players' chips went into the middle on a {5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts} board, Mercier holding {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Koon the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} for a higher set. The dealer put the {6-Hearts} onto the river to gift Mercier quads and leave Koon with only 2,000 chips.

Koon got his remaining chips into the middle of the felt with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} on a {Q-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop and was up against {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The turn and river were the {2-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} to split the pot.
