Mercier Flops the Nuts, Gets Tons of Value
Pot-Limit Omaha
Jared Bleznick raised to 3,000 from the hijack. Jason Mercier called from the cutoff, and big blind Brett Richey joined the action, as well.
The flop 
was checked to Mercier, who bet 5,500. Richey folded, and Bleznick called.
Mercier bet another 16,800 on the 
turn, and Bleznick check-called again.
Bleznick checked in the dark, leaving the action to Mercier before the 
landed on the river. Mercier thought for a bit, and then reached to his stack for a final barrel. He made it 48,000. Bleznick didn't snap-call, but it didn't take him long to throw in the required chips.
Mercier turned up his 
for the flopped nut flush, which remained the nuts all the way through.
Bleznick showed his 
for a flopped flush and an open-ended straight flush draw, but his hand had been trailing the whole time.
