Mercier Going the Wrong Way
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier is down to 22,500 in chips, which is less than half of the starting stack. Here's a couple of hands he lost.
On the first hand, Mercier checked the 
flop and Philipp Gruissem bet an unknown amount. Jason Somerville called and then Mercier check-raised to 6,400. Gruissem folded and Somerville called.
The turn was the 
and Mercier bet 8,600 with a little over 26,000 behind. Somerville jammed for 22,275 and Mercier gave it up.
Shortly after that, Mercier checked the 
board and Gruissem bet 1,800. Mercier called to see the 
fall on the river. After checking again, Mercier folded to a bet of 3,300 from Gruissem and dropped back to 22,500 in chips.
