Katz Forces a Fold From Mercier

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

Aaron Katz opened under the gun and was called by Jason Mercier on the button and John Monnette in the big blind.

On the K104 flop, Katz led for 16,000 and only Mercier called.

The turn brought the 6. Katz potted for 55,000 and Mercier stuck around.

On the repeat 6 river, Katz bet for 130,000 which sent Mercier into the tank. After over a minute, he elected to let it go as Katz dragged a sizeable pot without showdown.
