Yoo'n Gonna Need a Life Jacket

Level 7

Stud Hi-Lo

Action picked up on fifth as both Brian Yoon and Jason Mercier had 8,000 in front of them after two bets went in on fourth, with 44,000 in the middle after the other participants in the hand had bowed out already.

Brian Yoon: XxXx / 5♣4♥8♣5♦ / Xx
Jason Mercier: XxXx / 4♣2♦9♦9♠ / Xx

Mercier check-called a bet from Yoon on fifth, and he did the same on sixth street.

On seventh, Mercier check-called a final bet from Yoon, who tabled A♠5♠4♦ in the hole for full house, fives full of fours, which was enough for the scoop as Mercier did not make a low, and a substantial pot flowed towards Yoon's boat.
