Mercier No More

Prominent poker pro Jason Mercier is no longer involved in this tournament and we were there to catch his bust out. At the time, the board showed {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Mercier was calling the last of his chips when Mark Burford fired out a bet.

Mercier held {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, his pair of queens well ahead of the {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} that Burford held. However, that all changed on the river, as a {4-Spades} gave Burford the two-pair and all of Mercier's chips.
