No Mercy for Mercier

Jason Mercier raised to 8,000 under the gun only to have Chris Moorman, who was next to act, raise to 17,000. Action folded all the way back to Mercier and he moved all in for right around 40,000. Moorman made the call and the cards were turned up.

Mercier: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Moorman: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

Mercier had run smack dab into the best hand in poker and needed major help. The {4-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} flop gave him a runner-runner flush draw, so it was quite interesting when the {7-Diamonds} hit the turn. Any diamond on the river would do it for Mercier, but it was not meant to be as the {K-Hearts} rolled off the deck.
