Mercier Climbs Higher
Level 9
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
With roughly 170,000 in chips in the middle on the 
board, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier fired a bet of 103,000 into his opponent, Max Altergott. After a little bit of thought, Altergott slid in the chips to make the call. Mercier tabled the 
for top pair, top kicker, and Altergott mucked his hand.
With that pot, Mercier moved to 1.075 million in chips, while Altergott dropped back to 755,000.
