Mercier Nudges Galfond Back into Line
Razz:
Galfond - (X) (X) / 9-5-Q-2 / (X)
Mercier - 7-8 / 5-J-4-6 / K
Phil Galfond got a little out of line during the razz round and Jason Mercier took advantage of it. Galfond completed a 9, with Mercier's 5 still to act behind. Mercier raised, of course, and Galfond was forced to call.
Galfond took the lead on fourth street and bet; Mercier called. The roles were reversed on fifth and sixth streets, with Mercier leaing and Galfond calling. Down the river, Mercier fired one more bet that Galfond called. Mercier's 8-7 dragged the pot.
