Mercier Through to the Money

Eeeeeeeeasy money
Eeeeeeeeasy money
Poker isn't always pretty. Sometimes the worst hand gets there and sometimes it gets there in a brutal fashion.

Pieter de Korver was at a 3-to-1 chip disadvantage against Jason Mercier and opened his button with a raise. Mercier responded by moving all in and de Korver called. De Korver was in a dominating spot:

de Korver: {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Mercier: {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

It was all clear for de Korver through the turn, {4-Spades} {k-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. But the dealer burned and turned a deadly {9-Spades} on the river, giving Mercier a pair of nines, the pot and the victory.

Mercier, his head bowed at the table, offered de Korver a wry smile before shaking his hand and departing the set.
