Tong Li Doubles Through Jason Mercier

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With about 20,000 in the pot on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}, the player in the small blind led out for 6,700 and Jason Mercier called from the big blind.

Tong Li was in the cutoff and moved all in for his last 31,300. The small blind thought for a moment and folded, and the decision was on Mercier. He was visibly uncomfortable and was unsure on what he was going to do. He appeared to be doing some math and was counting out his stack. Eventually, he called.

Li tabled his hand and revealed {7-Spades}{6-Clubs} for two pair, at risk against Mercier's {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair and a flush draw. The river was the {k-Spades}, and Li doubled up.
