Mercier Finds Another Double

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The player in early position opened to 1,600. The player in middle position called. Action folded to Natasha Mercier in the big blind. The dealer was about to accidentally muck her hand, but she saved it, and after peeking at her cards, moved all in for 10,000. The original raiser was the only caller.

Natasha Mercier: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

''Dealer, I wish you mucked my hand,'' commented Mercier.

But Mercier was wrong as the dealer spread a flop of {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} giving her a full house. The {7-Clubs} turn and {q-Hearts} river completed the board and Mercier doubled up.
