Mercier Wields His Big Stack
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 12,000 ante
Jason Mercier, winner of the 2016 $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship, raised to 16,000 from the button, and received calls from Alexander Kell called in the small blind and Brandon Nicholson from the big.
Kell drew one, Nicholson two, and Mercier one.
Kell led out for 24,000, Nicholson folded, and Mercier separated 71,000 from his stack and tipped it onto the felt.
Kell spent some time looking back and forth between his hand and his chips before letting the hand go.
