Slap on the Ristola for Mercier

[user46392]

Raisiest Player At The Table Jason Mercier raised, and Markus Ristola called in the hijack. They saw a flop.

Flop: {8-Hearts}

Mercier, whose ridiculously tall stacks look in danger of falling over every time he dips into them for chips, bet out. Ristola stared very hard at the table for a while, and then raised to 180,000. Mercier checked his hole cards to make sure they hadn't magically turned into two completely different cards, or possibly even to discover what he actually had -- either way, he checked them, dwelled for a little while, and then made the call.

Turn: {8-Spades}
