Mercier Goes Deep Into the Tank
Nivel 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ihar Soika and Jason Mercier were heads-up in a three-bet pot, having around 190,000 in the pot. The flop came 8♣6♥2♦ and Mercier led out with a bet of 72,000 from the big blind, followed by a call from Soika on the button.
The turn was the K♦ and both players checked to the A♦ on the river. Mercier checked again and Soika put together a bet of 130,000. Mercier went into the tank for a good five minutes before finally making the call. Soika tabled 7♥5♥ for a missed straight draw while Mercier showed 10♠10♣ for the only pair to win the pot.
