Mercier Puts Tournament Life On The Line
In the very next hand after having his aces cracked Jason Mercier put his tournament life on the line.
It happened when Marvin Rettenmaier opened for 42,000 from the hijack and Mercier shipped for 191,000 from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and Rettenmaier made the call.
Showdown
Mercier: 
Rettenmaier: 
Mercier was well out in front and stayed there as the board ran out 
.
Again Mercier took to Twitter:
Was crippled to 190k... Next hand I get AJs vs Marvin's A8 and hold. 432k #ragingDecember 14 2012Follow
