Mercier Doubles Through Gross with Aces
We arrived at Table 2 during a flurry of raises between Jason Mercier (in the small blind) and Jeff Gross (in the big blind).
We were informed that Tom Marchese opened with a raise to 3,500 under the gun and Mercier re-raised to 9,700 from the small blind. Gross made it 24,500 to go from the big blind, forcing a fold from Marchese. Mercier made it 43,100 before Gross came back over the top to 87,500. Mercier went all in for 188,600, sending Gross into the tank for a good three minutes before he called.

Gross: 
Plenty of paint hit the table, but the 
board provided no help to Gross.
