Mercier Shuts Down Foxen
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jason Mercier limped in from under the gun, prompting Juha Helppi and Alex Foxen to do the same from the button and small blind. Daniel Aharoni then checked his option in the big blind.
All four players checked on the 5♥10♠6♥ flop, tempting Foxen into a bet on the 10♦ turn. He put 45,000 into the middle, which was enough to remove Aharoni, but Mercier responded with a raise to 150,000. Helppi folded on the button, and, after some time to consider, Foxen did the same.
