Mercier Virtually Doubles Up
Level 7
: 250/500, 75 ante
Jason Mercier raised to 1,150 in early position, and a player two seats over three bet it to 3,300. Action folded back around to Mercier, and he called to see the flop come down 
. Both players checked that flop, and the 
hit the turn. Mercier bet out 5,300, his opponent called, and the 
hit the river. Mercier stared at the board for about 15 seconds before he started to assemble a bet. The bet was 14,800, and his opponent thought for about 30 seconds before dropping a chip in for the call.
Mercier rolled over 
for trip queens, and his opponent shook his head before showing 
and mucking. Mercier scooped the big pot to up his stack to 45,000.
