Mercier Scoops Another One
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Natasha Mercier just entered the field at the start of the day but has continued to build her stack throughout, sitting among the chip leaders as the money bubble approaches. Facing a raise to 12,000 from Ezequiel Waigel in the hijack, Mercier just flat-called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of K♥10♦2♦ and both players checked to the 10♠ on the turn.
Waigel tossed in a bet of 27,000 and Mercier called to see the 2♠ on the river. Both players tapped the table again and Mercier flipped over 9♠9♣ for the best hand.
