A Rare Flush for Mercier
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 300,000 ante
Jason Mercier completed and Mike Watson checked his option. Watson took two and Mercier followed suit.
Watson paired up with 9x8x5x2x2x and checked. Mercier started with three diamonds and drew two more to end up with 10♦5♦4♦3♦2♦, relevant as flushes still count against the player in 2-7 Single Draw.
He tried to take it with a bet of 450,000 but couldn't get Watson off his pair.
"Flush is bad, yeah?" Mercier inquired.
"Bad, really bad," Watson confirmed.
"Just making sure, maybe I should've tabled it," Mercier said with a chuckle.
