Mercier Felted in Rollercoaster Hand

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Poker streamer Mehdi "GitAndSos" Saeed opened to 20,000 from middle position before Jason Mercier moved all in for 146,000 from late position. Action folded back around to Saeed who, after asking for a count, made the call.

Jason Mercier: 3♠3♦
Mehdi Saeed: 7♥7♠

Mercier was in rough shape and looked set to be eliminated from the tournament. The flop came 3♣2♦J♦, however, vaulting Mercier into a commanding lead. Nothing changed on the 8♣ turn but the river came 7♦, causing a collective gasp to spread around the table as Mercier made his exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in the hijack opened to 27,000 and another player on the button moved all in for his last 155,000. Glenn Fishbein raised all in for 225,000 and the hijack called, covering both players to put them at risk.

Button: Q♦Q♥
Glenn Fishbein: A♦K♠
Hijack: J♦J♠

All three players held monster hands preflop, with the button having the best of it on the 7♠9♦2♥ flop and 6♣ turn. That all changed when Fishbein spiked the K♣ on the river to increase his stack nearly three-fold while sending the player on the button to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Patrick "Egption" Tardif opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from early position. Bradley Butcher was in the next seat over and jammed all in for 221,000, covering Tardif.

It then folded to Jarett Mullins in the small blind, who thought for a bit before putting in the call. Tardif then called as well and it was a three-way preflop all-in.

Patrick Tardif: Q♠Q♦
Bradley Butcher: A♣K♥
Jarett Mullins: A♥K♠

Tardif was in a great spot to triple up, while the other two players were hoping to chop up his chips.

"I'll take five clubs," Butcher said before the flop came down 6♠9♥2♥.

"Heart!" Mullins commanded to no avail when the turn was the 7♣.

Both players then stayed quiet as the 5♦ river rolled off, officially giving Tardif the triple-up with his pair of queens. Meanwhile, Butcher was left with only three big blinds.

In a duel hijack versus cutoff, Juan Maceiras Lapido checked the 9♣7♦3♦4♥Q♦ river. Andrew Wu bet 80,000 with the K♠5♠ and the Spaniard quickly called with the A♣Q♠ to win the showdown pot.

A five-way limped pot unfolded after in which Shota Nakanishi bet 17,000 with the 10♦8♣ for middle pair. Stephen Chidwick called with the K♥7♥ in the big blind and Wu came along with the 6♠6♥.

They checked the 2♣ turn and the J♣ followed on the river.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was picked up in a heads-up pot with roughly 80,000 in the middle on a flop showing J♦8♦8♣. Robert Harrison bet out 30,000 from the small blind and Nick Petrangelo made the call in middle position.

On the 6♦ turn Harrison checked over to Petrangelo who came with a size of 115,000, and Harrison tossed in chips for the call. The A♣ completed the board and Harrison elected to lead out for 200,000. Petrangelo snap-called and Harrison quickly tabled J♥J♣ for a flopped boat to score the big pot when Petrangelo threw his cards into the muck.
