Jason Mercier (from earlier in the series)

Jason Mercier raised to 125 from the cutoff and was called by the players in the small and big blinds.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the action checked to Mercier who tossed out 175. Only the small blind called.

Both players then checked the {8-Clubs} on the turn before the {5-Spades} completed the board. The small blind checked, then folded after Mercier fired out a final bet of 650.

Also in the field, seated two tables down from Jason, is his wife Natasha Mercier.
