Mercier Extends His Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 300,000 ante
Mike Watson min-raised to 400,000 and Jason Mercier called. Watson opted to draw one, keeping Qx10x7x3x, while Mercier drew two holding Jx7x6x.
Mercier found two cards he needed to end up with Jx9x7x6x5x. Watson, on the contrary, ended up with one of the worst possible hands with QxQx10x7x3x.
Mercier checked, Watson bet 550,000, and Mercier snapped it off almost before Watson had even muttered the words.
