Perkins Welcomes Mercier
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier just sat down in the $100,000 Super High Roller, and he was put to the test right away by Bill Perkins.
Mercier raised from the cutoff to 2,200 and Perkins three-bet from the small blind to 6,000. Mercier called, and the flop brought out 
.
Perkins bet 6,000 on the flop and Mercier called, putting the 
on the turn. Perkins continued for another 12,000 and Mercier followed with a call.
The river completed the board with the 
and quickly Perkins bet 50,000 by tossing in two chips worth 25,000 each.
"Kings?" Mercier asked after a while before ultimately folding his cards.
"It sure wasn't kings," Perkins smiled, as he seemed tempted to show his cards before throwing them face down into the muck.
"It might've been a deuce, or nothing at all," Perkins continued, as he's not here to sit around but to create lots of action.
